I get my dynamic navigation menu from the database because I have a CMS, so here's my code:
<ul>
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, name, DESCRIPTION FROM menu where VISIBLE='1' ORDER BY `order` ASC") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
printf('<li>%s %s </a></li> ', $row['name'],$row['DESCRIPTION']);
}
?>
to highlight the current page, i have to add this inside the li element
how should i do this? Thanks in advance.
u can try the following code
<?php
$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];?>
<ul>
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, name, DESCRIPTION FROM menu where VISIBLE='1' ORDER BY
`order` ASC") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<li<?php if(preg_match("/index/i", $currentpage)||($currentpage=="/")) { echo "
class='active'"; } ?>><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<?
}
?>
instead of index you can also write $row[name] in a variable and replace /index/i with it
set a variable on the page like
$navlink = '<somevalue>'
and check the the value in li
<li <?php if($navlink == '<somevalue>') {echo "class='active'"}?>>
i think it will work.
