Add class=“active” to active page using PHP

Question

Dynamic Header, CSS Class Change To Active USING PHP (dirrectory)

I want the class of the

tag to change under the active dirrectory... now

Answer 1

"includes/header.php" - This goes in Top of the File

<?php 
$activePage = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

$index="";
$nosotros="";
$cursos="";
$contacto="";

switch ($activePage) {
    case 'index.php':
        $index=' class="current"';
        break;
    case 'nosotros.php':
        $nosotros=' class="current"';
        break;
    case 'cursos.php':
        $cursos=' class="current"';
        break;
    case 'contacto.php':
        $contacto=' class="current"';
        break;
    default:

        break;
     }
?>

and this goes on the nav section

<ul>
    <?php 
        echo '<li'.$index.'><a href="/"><div>Inicio</div></a></li>';
        echo '<li'.$nosotros.'><a href="nosotros"><div>Nosotros</div></a></li>';
        echo '<li'.$cursos.'><a href="cursos"><div>Cursos</div></a></li>';
        echo '<li><a href="http://www.redtechacademy.com"><div>Academia</div></a></li>';
        echo '<li><a href="https://www.redtechhackingshop.com"><div>Tienda</div></a></li>';
        echo '<li'.$contacto.'><a href="contacto"><div>Contacto</div></a></li>';
    ?>
</ul>

Answer 2

It's probably easier to do with jQuery but this works:

$url='http://example.com/tutorials/css/flawless-dropdown-menu';//pass the current url here instead of a static string.
$segments = explode ("/",$url);

$menuItems=array('Tutorials','Resources', 'Library', 'Our-Projects','Community');


$menu=array();
foreach ($menuItems as $menuItem) {
if($segments[3]==strtolower($menuItem)){
    $menu[]=('<li class="active"><a href="/'.strtolower($menuItem).'/">'.str_replace("-"," ",$menuItem).'</a></li>');

} else {
    $menu[]=('<li class="no-active"><a href="/'.strtolower($menuItem).'/">'.str_replace("-"," ",$menuItem).'</a></li>');
}
}
foreach ($menu as $item) {
echo $item.'<br />';
}

Answer 3

Here we can do a simple thing also :

<li class="page-scroll <?php if(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])=="aboutus.php"){echo "active";} ?>"><a href="aboutus.php">About us</a></li>

Answer 4

 Try the following:

<ul class="sub-menu"> 
   <div class="h-10"></div>
   <li class="<?php if ($your_variable=="test") {echo "active"; } 
     else{echo"noactive";}?>">
     <a href="test.php">Test </a>
   </li>
    <li class="<?php if ($your_variable=="test2") {echo "active"; 
      } else {echo"noactive";}?>">
     <a href="test2.php" >Test2</a>
    </li>
    <li class="<?php if ($your_variable=="test3") {echo 
     "active"; } else  {echo "noactive";}?>">
        <a href="test3.php">Test3</a>
    </li>
 </ul>

 **strong PHP text**

 <?php 
  $directoryURI = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
   $path = parse_url($directoryURI, PHP_URL_PATH);
   $components = explode('/', $path);
   $your_variable = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], ".php"); 
  ?>
