Checking page name to change links class

[MikeSpider]

Hi guys,
I wrote a script to indicate the active page by changing the element class.

But it's not working, need some help. Here is the script:

Code: Select all



                    <?php  $menuItems = array('home', 'create','projects','forums', 'connections','settings','login','donate');
                   
                    for($i=0; $i< count($menuItems); $i++){
                           if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == $menuItems[$i].".php"){
                               $active = "navBlockActive";
                           }else{
                               $active = "navBlock";
                           }                                   
                             echo '<a href="'.$menuItems[$i].'.php">
                             <div class="'.$active.'">';
                        echo '<p>'.$menuItems[$i] . '</span>';
                        echo '</div></a>';
                        } ?>


Thanks in Advance,
Mike

Hi,
(Sorry for my English)

Path is missing in this line:

Code: Select all

if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == $menuItems[$i].".php")

echo ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == "/path/" . $menuItems[$i] . ".php"

Hi,
thanks for your reply.

I tried :

Code: Select all

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == "localhost/Mypage/" . $menuItems[$i] . ".php"


not working, also tried: Mypage/. $menuItems[$i] . ".php"
and "../".$menuItems[$i].'.php')
not working either.

thanks,
Mike

Yeah but your code works for me, so ?

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] value must be exactly the same as "/path/" . $menuItems[$i] . ".php"
This is my $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] value: "/projects/php/index.php" and yours ?

PHP manual say:
"PHP_SELF
The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root."

This code works for me !

Code: Select all

<?php $menuItems = array('home', 'create','projects','forums', 'connections','settings','login','donate');

for($i=0; $i< count($menuItems); $i++) {
      if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == "/projects/php/index.php") {
         $active = "navBlockActive";
      }else{
         $active = "navBlock";
      }                                   
       echo '<a href="'.$menuItems[$i].'.php">
       <div class="'.$active.'">';
   echo '<p>'.$menuItems[$i] . '</span>';
   echo '</div></a>';
   } ?>

Yes it worked.
so, one thing I understand now is that $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], always refers to my htdocs folder as a root, and then the project name and then the page !?

I used as path: /myproject/

Thanks a lot for your help.

Mike
