Need a conditional statement inside of a link to echo div class

Hi folks, brand new here and hope that you can help me;

 

I'm looking for very generic pagination for my page. I'll paste in some html and go from there:

<div class="row paginate">
   <div class="col-12">
      <nav>
         <a href="index.php" class="active">01</a>
         <a href="index-02.php">02</a>
         <a href="index-03.php">03</a>
         <a href="index-04.php">04</a>
         <a href="index-05.php">05</a>
      </nav>
   </div>
</div>

What I'm looking for is php inside of the link to echo the .active class based on whether or not you're on the index-02.php page or index-03.php page etc...

 

I'm not using any mysql for this so I hope it's possible. I also plan on putting that chunk of html in an include file so I don't have to manually keep adding new links to every page :/

 

The site it's going on is one of my own at http://www.harshclimate.com/photos if you wanna see the entire HTML

 

Thanks, all!

<div class="row paginate">
   <div class="col-12">
      <nav>
         <?php
            // loop through 5 page numbers
            for ($i = 1; $i < 6; $i++)
            {
               // output initial links and set the page number in a URI variable
               echo '<a href ="index.php?page=' . $i . '";
               // check URI variable to see if it iss equal to our current iteration count
               if ($_GET['page'] == $i)
                  echo ' class = "active" ';
               // output end of link
               echo '>' . $i . '</a>';
            }
         ?>
      </nav>
   </div>
</div>

Untested but here is how you would build the pages dynamically. Eventually I would have the photo links in a database and I would look into using mod_rewrite with a .htaccess file so you can have the following:

.../photos/2

instead of:

.../index.php?page=2

Actually that code should be this.

<div class="row paginate">
   <div class="col-12">
      <nav>
         <?php
            // loop through 5 page numbers
            for ($i = 1; $i < 6; $i++)
            {
               // output initial links and set the page number in a URI variable
               echo '<a href ="index.php?page=' . $i . '"';
               // check URI variable to see if it iss equal to our current iteration count
               if ($_GET['page'] == $i)
                  echo ' class = "active" ';
               // output end of link
               echo '>' . $i . '</a>';
            }
         ?>
      </nav>
   </div>
</div>
