Question

I have a nav.php which determines what the current page is and applies a class to the li element. This is the code:

<?php
$page = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$page = substr($page, 0, -4);
//echo $page;
?>

<ul>
    <?php if($page == 'dash'){echo '<li class="current"><a href="dash.php">Dashboard</a></li>'; } else {echo '<li><a href="dash.php">Dashboard</a></li>';} ?>
    <?php if($page == 'boot'){echo '<li class="current"><a href="boot.php">Boot</a></li>'; } else {echo '<li><a href="boot.php">Boot</a></li>';} ?>
    <?php if($page == 'account'){echo '<li class="current"><a href="account.php">Account</a></li>'; } else {echo '<li><a href="account.php">Account</a></li>';} ?>
    <?php if($page == 'tools'){echo '<li class="current"><a href="tools.php">Tools</a></li>'; } else {echo '<li><a href="tools.php">Tools</a></li>';} ?>
    <?php if($page == 'news'){echo '<li class="current"><a href="bews.php">News</a></li>'; } else {echo '<li><a href="news.php">News</a></li>';} ?>
    <?php if($page == 'contact'){echo '<li class="current"><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>'; } else {echo '<li><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>';} ?>
    <?php if($page == 'logout'){echo '<li class="current"><a  href="logout.php">Logout</a></li>'; } else {echo '<li><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></li>';} ?>


</ul>

Need to convert it to Smarty – appreciate any help.

Solved, me just being silly!

<ul>
    <li class="{if $page == 'dash'}current{else}nav{/if}"><a href="dash.php">Dash</a></li>
    <li class="{if $page == 'boot'}current{else}nav{/if}"><a href="boot.php">Boot</a></li>
    <li class="{if $page == 'account'}current{else}nav{/if}"><a href="account.php">Account</a></li>
    <li class="{if $page == 'tools'}current{else}nav{/if}"><a href="tools.php">Tools</a></li>
    <li class="{if $page == 'news'}current{else}nav{/if}"><a href="news.php">News</a></li>
    <li class="{if $page == 'contact'}current{else}nav{/if}"><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
    <li class="{if $page == 'logout'}current{else}nav{/if}"><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></li>
</ul>

Simply, PHP file:

<?php
    $page = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
    $page = substr($page, 0, -4);
    $smarty->assign('page', $page);
?>

Template TPL file:

<ul>
    <li {if ($page == 'dash')}class="current"{/if}><a href="dash.php">Dashboard</a></li>
    <li {if ($page == 'boot')}class="current"{/if}><a href="boot.php">Boot</a></li>
    etc...
</ul>
