Adding A Class To <A> Tag

[thara]

this code I used to display paginating links... problem is I need to add some style to the links when its active.. I can style it through some CSS rules.. but at first need to add a class to link tag.. Eg: <a class="selected" ></a>

 

 // Make the links to other pages, if necessary.
 if ($pages > 1) {

  echo '<div class="pagination">';  
   echo '<p>';

   // Determine what page the script is on:
   $current_page = ($start/$display) + 1;

   // If it's not the first page, make a Previous link:
   if ($current_page != 1) {
 echo '<a href="searching.php?s=' . ($start - $display) . '&p=' . $pages . '"><</a>';
   }
   // Make all the numbered pages:
   for ($i = 1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {
 if ($i != $current_page) {
  echo '<a href="searching.php?s=' . (($display * ($i - 1))) . '&p=' . $pages . '">' . $i . '</a> ';
 } else {
  echo $i . ' ';
 }
   } // End of FOR loop.  
   // If it's not the last page, make a Next button:
   if ($current_page != $pages) {
 echo '<a href="searching.php?s=' . ($start + $display) . '&p=' . $pages . '">></a>';
   }

   echo '</p>'; // Close the paragraph.

  echo '</div>';

 } // End of links section.

 

can anybody have any idea how to do this?

 

thank you..

If you mean the currently selected page, it's just the page number, not a link. You would output the page number inside of a <span class='selected'>$i</span>

no.. I only need to add a class to <a> tag when page is active.. assume page 1 is active.. then I need to add a class to that link.. resion is I need to style the link when it is activating..

Where in your code do you see a link being output for the current/active page? There are links for the previous page (if any), the pages other than the current/active page, and the next page (if any.)

I have styled it.. but problem is I cant style when a link is activating... eg: if page 1 is active then I need to add some styles for that link. thats why I need to add another class to the <a>..

The following is your code for the current/active page -

 

echo $i . ' ';

 

I's not a link. It's text. Someone already showed you how to put a span around it to style it with a css class.
