Question

I would like to highlight the current tab using the url

$url="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$gallerypageurl="http://www.domain.com/gallery/"; 
if ($gallerypageurl==$url){ echo "selected"; }else { echo "";} 

This highlights the gallery tab when the url is http://www.domain.com/gallery/
but my gallery has a pagination in that, so when I go to second page the url is http://www.domain.com/gallery/2/.

This won’t highlight the current gallery tab because the $url (http://www.domain.com/gallery/2/) is not equal to $gallerypageurl (http://www.domain.com/gallery/).

How do you extract only the page url without the page number /2/ or /3/

Answer 1

You could use (for example…) stristr:

if (stristr($url, $gallerypageurl) !== false)
{
  // $gallerypageurl was found in $url
  echo "selected";
}
