[SOLVED] Php Menu + CSS

[eleven0]

I'm trying to make a master menu for my site.

 

I'm trying to use php to avoid having all those lines in every single page.

 

 

 

 

 

here is what i got for my menu

<?php
<div id="menu">
   <ul>
      <li<?php if ($_GET["page"] == "home" || !(isset($_GET["page"]))) echo " id=\"current\""; ?>><a href="index2.php">Home</a></li>
      <li<?php if ($_GET["page"] == "forums") echo " id=\"current\""; ?>><a href="index.php">Forums</a></li>
      <li<?php if ($_GET["page"] == "download") echo " id=\"current\""; ?>><a href="index3.php">Download</a></li>
      <li<?php if ($_GET["page"] == "contact") echo " id=\"current\""; ?>><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
      <li<?php if ($_GET["page"] == "help") echo " id=\"current\""; ?>><a href="#">Help</a></li>
      <li<?php if ($_GET["page"] == "other") echo " id=\"current\""; ?>><a href="#">Other</a></li>        
   </ul>        
</div>

 

here is what i got in CSS;

#menu {
clear: both;	
margin: 0; padding: 0 40px 0 0;
font:12px/26px Tahoma, Sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
height: 26px;
}
#menu ul {
float: left;
list-style: none;
margin:0; padding: 0;
}
#menu ul li {
display: inline;
}
#menu ul li a {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 0 8px;
color: black;	
text-decoration: none;
}
#menu ul li a:hover {
background-color: #666;
color: #cccccc;	
}
#menu ul li #current{	
background-color: #474A41;
color: #333;
}

 

How do i set my page with $_GET["page"] so the menu will work?

 

[shedokan]

let's say your page is index.php

so you use index.php?page=home

 

[phpSensei]

So the menu would work? It already works. If the $_GET is one of the links in the menu, its ID is "Current", which is the page the user is at. To make the pages using $_GET

 

do

 

$page = $_GET['page'];
$page = (isset($page)) ? $page : "Home";

switch($page){

case 'Home':

echo 'this is home';

break;

case 'Forum':

echo " HALLO THIS IS THE FORUMS";

break;

default:
echo "Page does not exists";
}

@phpSensei

 

The menu in my first post doesn't work. How do i define those pages?

I get error like this

 

    * Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\Documents and Settings\8\Desktop\wamp\www\forums\header.php on line 14

      id="current">Home

    *

 

      Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\Documents and Settings\8\Desktop\wamp\www\forums\header.php on line 15

      >Forums

    *

 

      Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\Documents and Settings\8\Desktop\wamp\www\forums\header.php on line 16

      >Download

    *

 

      Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\Documents and Settings\8\Desktop\wamp\www\forums\header.php on line 17

      >Contact

    *

 

      Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\Documents and Settings\8\Desktop\wamp\www\forums\header.php on line 18

      >Help

    *

 

      Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\Documents and Settings\8\Desktop\wamp\www\forums\header.php on line 19

      >Other

 

also,

 

$page = $_GET['page'];
$page = (isset($page)) ? $page : "Home";

switch($page){

case 'Home':

echo 'this is home';

break;

case 'Forum':

echo " HALLO THIS IS THE FORUMS";

break;

default:
echo "Page does not exists";
}

 

I get "undefined index page" for this one too.
