can you see the error in my code ???

[marcelobm]

<?php

foreach($topNav as $topNavs){

if ($pageName == $topNavs->title){
echo '<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}else{
echo '<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'" class="selected">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}
}?>

[marcelobm]

the error was in the foreach declaration and in the conditional

[ricky spires]

cool.

 

thanks for your help

You´re welcome, don´t forget to mark the post as solved.

[ricky spires]

sorry. 1 more thing

 

this code is for navigation .

 

the code makes all the tabs selected if

$pageName == '.$topNavs->title.'

i just want 1 tab selected. "home" for example

 

<?PHP foreach($topNav as $topNavs): 

if ($pageName == '.$topNavs->title.'){
echo'
<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}else{
echo'
<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'" class="selected">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}
endforeach; ?>

 

how do i get around that. ?

[marcelobm]

this is you script

<?php foreach($topNav as $topNavs): 

if ($pageName == '.$topNavs->title.'){
echo'
<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}else{
echo'
<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'" class="selected">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}
endforeach; ?>

 

change it to this

 

<?php foreach($topNav as $topNavs): 

if ($pageName == $topNavs->title){
echo'
<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'" class="selected">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}else{
echo'
<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
}
endforeach; ?>

Hello .

 

Sorry if my replies are a long time apart i'm away from the computer a lot.

 

i tried your code but it didn't seem to do the trick. it still make all navigation tabs selected if the page is = to the $topNavs->title.

 

on home.php i have this line of code

$pageName = 'Home';

 

and your header code is like this

<?PHP foreach($topNav as $topNavs):

 

if ($pageName == '.$topNavs->title.'){

echo'

<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'" >'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';

}else{

echo'

<li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'" class="selected">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';

}

endforeach; ?>

 

this is giving every <li> the class of selected.

 

how can i give just the $pageName = 'Home'; selected and make the rest of the <li> unselected ???

or if im on one of the other tabs how would i make that tab selected and the rest not.

 

do i need more if statements or something ????

 

thanks for all your help

   echo'
   <li><a href="'.$topNavs->title.'" id="'.$topNavs->title.'">'.$topNavs->title.'</a></li>';
   }
endforeach; ?>

 

Add this as marcelobm stated. The code you provided is yours, not what marcelobm suggested.

[ricky spires]

your right.

 

i should have just used marcelobm's code to start. that works great

 

<li><a <?php echo ($pageName ==  $topNavs->title ? 'class="selected"' : '')?> href="<?php echo $topNavs->title; ?>.php" id="<?php echo $topNavs->title; ?>"><?php echo $topNavs->title; ?></a></li>

 

thanks all
