  <!--menu ends-->

in a navi.php

and <?php require_once 'navi.php' ?>

but still have the page I am on highlighted like so:

You need a way to detect the page and change the class to selected.

I am not good at this stuff @Canadian Can you help me

 

[TesoMayn]

Yeah @Canadian help him.

 

[Proximity]

Yea @Canadian help me

There is an easy way around this, you can give each page a certain ID, for example for the home page: <?php $pid = 1; ?>, and in the navigator, you'd do:
<li><a href="index.php" <?php if($pid == 1) { echo'class="selected"'; } ?>>Home</a></li>, and so on with the other pages..

 

[Proximity]

Like I said before I am not php litterate

 

[TesoMayn]

Just so I can get credit, I'm going to steal from Khalil's idea

Put this at the top of the page

<?php
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$path = parse_url($uri, PHP_URL_PATH);
$explosion = explode('/', $path);
$page = $explosion[1];?>
?>

Then add this to each menu link

class="<?php if($page=="PAGENAME"){echo "selected";}?>"

 

[Proximity]

Add
<?php
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$path = parse_url($uri, PHP_URL_PATH);
$explosion = explode('/', $path);
$page = $explosion[1];?>
?>

to every page and then
class="<?php if($page=="PAGENAME"){echo "selected";}?>" in the navi.php?
 
Add
<?php
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$path = parse_url($uri, PHP_URL_PATH);
$explosion = explode('/', $path);
$page = $explosion[1];?>
?>

to every page and then
class="<?php if($page=="PAGENAME"){echo "selected";}?>" in the navi.php?

 

[TesoMayn]

What?

 

[Sysode]

What?

I think he was asking if he places your code in the navi.php file.

 

[TesoMayn]

If that's what you mean, then yes.

To the top of the navi page add the PHP, then add the second part to each menu link.

 

[Proximity]

This

<?php
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$path = parse_url($uri, PHP_URL_PATH);
$explosion = explode('/', $path);
$page = $explosion[1];
?>

  <!--menu starts-->
  <div class="span8">
  <div id="smoothmenu" class="ddsmoothmenu">

  <li><a href="index.php" class="<?php if($page=="Home"){echo "selected";}?>">Home</a></li>

is my navi.php is this right?

 

[TesoMayn]

Sort of

$page=="nameofpage"

Like if the name of the page is index.php (with the .php)

It'd be

$page=="index" (no .php)

 

[Proximity]
