Question

Well, Following is the function which select current page name. ex: index.php, owner.php, contactus.php etc. I created this function because i need to active a css id(#active) selector which highlight the current page.

Function

function curPageName() {
return substr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],strrpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],"/")+1);
}
$pagename = curPageName();

And this is my Navigation Code:

<ul>
<li><a href="index.php" <?php if($pagename == "index.php") echo "id='active'"; 
?>>HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="owner.php" <?php if($pagename == "owner.php") echo "id='active'"; ?>>LIST 
YOUR PROPERTY</a></li>                        
<?php
$menu = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM page where status = 1");

while($re = mysql_fetch_array($menu))
{
$pageid = $re['pageid'];
$pagelink = $re['pagelink'];
$pagename = strtoupper($re['pagename']);
$pagedes =  $re['pagedes'];                     

echo "<li><a href='page.php?pageid=$pageid'>$pagename</a></li>";
}
?>                      

<li><a href="contactus.php" <?php if($pagename == "contactus.php") echo "id='active'"; 
?>>CONTACT US</a></li>
</ul>

So, My questions is It’s active the css id selector to Index.php and owner.php. BUT It’s doesn’t active the css selector to contactus.php page.

Is there anything wrong in my code?

Answer 1

You have overwritten $pagename into while loop

while($re = mysql_fetch_array($menu))
{
$pageid = $re['pageid'];
$pagelink = $re['pagelink'];
$pagename = strtoupper($re['pagename']);

^^^^^ overwritten variable value change this variable name

$pagedes =  $re['pagedes'];                     

echo "<li><a href='page.php?pageid=$pageid'>$pagename</a></li>";
}

-------------------------------------vvvvvvvvv- this will be last value of while loop
<li><a href="contactus.php" <?php if($pagename == "contactus.php") echo "id='active'"; 
?>>CONTACT US</a></li>
