mdonders Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hello! I have a site that mainly uses CSS and the default html code was to make one of the links background a different color based on what page you were on. (Like active background=red) But when I made my page php so it was easier to edit I included header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php so I only need to edit once I found this impossible as I was using the same file on every page. This wouldn't allow me to make one link active and have the background change. My site is: http://www.learningtobowl.com and if you click on bowling blog you can see what I am talking about, but I was wondering if there was a way to have the browser determine what page you were on and based on that make on link active. Maybe I could use an if statement or something. All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdonders Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks for the quick response. Just want to clarify that I understand. If I were at http://www.learningtobowl.com/about.php and used: echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; it would have a value of about.php? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
