PHP include .html pages and marked menus help

[Lovac]

Hello to the community, i need help with some things.

 

im using this code to change the pages with links in menu:

 

<?php 												
$str = $_GET['str'];
if(strlen($str) && preg_match('/^[\-_a-z0-9]*$/i', $str))
{
if(!include $str . ".html")
{
include "index.html";
}
}
else
{
include "index.html";
}
?>

 

then in menus this:

<a href="index.php?str=page_2">Page2</a>

 

Now what code i need to add or change to get things on menus marked on which page are you atm?

Page1 Page2 Page3

Page1 Page2 Page3 (when you are on page3)

I guess you could do something like this

 

 

<?php
//Full page list
$pages = array(
"page_1"=>"Main Page",
"page_2"=>"Page2",
"page_3"=>"Page3",
"page_4"=>"Page4",
);

//Get Page selected
$page = (empty($_GET['str']))?0:$_GET['str'];

//Display links
echo PageLinks($page,$pages);

//check selected page is correct name format
if(preg_match('/^[\-_a-z0-9]+$/i', $page)){
$file = "$page.html";
//check page exists
if(file_exists($file)){
	include($file);
	exit;
}
}
//any faults display home page
include "index.html";

function PageLinks($page, $pages){
$str = "";
foreach($pages as $k => $v){
	if($page == $k){
		$str .="<p><strong><a href=\"index.php?str=$k\">$v</a></strong></p>\n";
	}else{
		$str .="<p><a href=\"index.php?str=$k\">$v</a></p>\n";
	}
}
return $str;
}
?>

thx it works, can you help me out a bit more?

i need to add class from .css to menu, how to do it?

im php newbie

If you can post a HTML example of the selected page and unselected pages i could update it for you.

basically your need to change

if($page == $k){
         $str .="<p><strong><a href=\"index.php?str=$k\">$v</a></strong></p>\n";
      }else{
         $str .="<p><a href=\"index.php?str=$k\">$v</a></p>\n";
      }

to something like this

if($page == $k){
         $str .="<p class=\"selected\"><strong><a href=\"index.php?str=$k\">$v</a></strong></p>\n";
      }else{
         $str .="<p class=\"unselected\"><a href=\"index.php?str=$k\">$v</a></p>\n";
      }

tried but look what happens:

 

this is default menu:

page1 page2 page3 page4

 

when you click on page2 for example it turns like this:

page1 page2 page3 page3

 

but my problem is that until you click something on menu its like this, when you enter site its behaves like its allways on selected:

page1 page2 page3 page4

 

 

[MadTechie]

for a default page you can update the code

//Get Page selected
$page = (empty($_GET['str']))?0:$_GET['str'];

to

//Get Page selected
$page = (empty($_GET['str']))?"page_1":$_GET['str'];

that will make page_1 the default page.

 

can you post the PageLinks function and I'll take a look

[Lovac]

hey hey, that worked.

Thank you very much! 

 

edit:

classes are not working in IE

[MadTechie]

Your welcome, if this is solved click solved (bottom left) (you can unsolve it if needed)

also read the code and play around with it.. so you understand it, any questions i'm sure someone or myself will be happy help.

 

Happy PHPing

[Lovac]

oh edit again, works, forgot to upload .css also..silly me

works

ill close it, thx

[MadTechie]

Can you supple more detail, as "not working" doesn't help much!

 

However if its a CSS problem then a new thread in the CSS section would be better..

 

[MadTechie]

LOL okay!
