[SOLVED] navigation help

[imarockstar]

I have a site with the nav being divs .. and based on if the user is on that page, I want that tab to be a different color.

 

Whats the best way to do this using php ?

 

http://74.55.14.226/~green/solarpower.php

 

you can see that the tab for the solar page is green ... but i need that to change based on what page you are on ...

 

here is my code :

 

<div class='navlinkpush'>

<div class='navlinkactive'><a href='solarpower.php'>solar</a></div>			      
<div class='navlink'><a href='windpower.php'>wind</a></div>			      
<div class='navlink'><a href='nuclearpower.php'>nuclear</a></div>			      
<div class='navlink'><a href='biofuel.php'>bio</a></div>			      
<div class='navlink'><a href='hybridcars.php'>hybrids</a></div>			      
<div class='navlink'><a href='hydrogenpower.php'>hydrogen</a></div>			      
<div class='navlink'><a href='about.php'>about</a></div>			      
<div class='navlink'><a href='blog.php'>blog</a></div>

</div> <!-- #navlinkpush -->

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but couldn't you just use css? Create a class called something like "curr" and on each of those pages, use the other class... If it is a different color for EACH page, then create a class for each tab color.

that would be the easiest way .. however, since my navigation is in an includes its the same file for all of my pages ..

this should work...

 

just continue the elseif statements for each link/page you have and complete $arr.

 

should do the job.

 

<?php
$getArr = explode(".", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if(strpos($getArr[0], "/solarpower")){
      $link = "solar";
}elseif(strpos($getArr[0], "/windpower")){
      $link = "wind";
}
$arr = array("solar","wind");
foreach($arr as $key => $value){
      echo '<div'.($value==$link ? ' style="navlinkactive"' : ' style="navlink"').'>'.$value.'</div>';
}
?>

create script navbar.php

<?php
$navbar = array(
'solar' => 'solarpower.php',
'wind' => 'windpower.php',
'nuclear' => 'nuclearpower.php',
'bio' => 'biofuel.php',
'hibrids' => 'hybridcars.php',
'hydrogen' => 'hydrogenpower.php',
'about' => 'about.php',
'blog' => 'blog.php'
);
$a = explode('/',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$activ_link = array_pop($a);
foreach ($navbar as $text => $link){
$class = $activ_link == $link ? 'navlinkactive' : 'navlink';
echo "<div class='$class'><a href='$link'>$text</a></div>\n";
}
?>

and include it in your scripts
