Highlight current page menu item with PHP & dynamic title tag

[cinnamonsuiParticipant]

I’ve looked at several examples but can’t get these 2 things to work (I’m a PHP-noob).

Check this page: http://pixelit.se/webbinformatik/om.php

the tab “Om oss” should be brown since it’s the current page, but it’s not working.

I’m using this code:

<li>

<a <?php

if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'om.php'))

echo 'class="current_page_item"'; ?>

href="om.php" title="Mer information om oss" tabindex="2">Om oss</a>

</li>

What’s wrong here?

And I’m also trying to create a dynamic title-tag that should change depending on what page you’re on. This doesn’t work either:

<?php

$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];



if (isset($page)) {



switch($page) {



case "index.php" :

$title = "Hem";



break;



case "om.php" :

$title = "Om oss";



break;



case "bakverk.php" :

$title = "Våra bakverk";



break;



case "cupcakes.php" :

$title = "Våra bakverk - Cupcakes";



break;



case "tartor.php" :

$title = "Våra bakverk - Tårtor";



break;



case "bestallning.php" :

$title = "Beställning";



break;



case "kontakt.php" :

$title = "Kontakt";



break;

}

} else {

$title = "Hello Sugar Bakery";

}



print "<title>$title</title>";

?>

Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong here?

1st one, your code actually works for me. Can you post the entire navigation code?

2nd one: By changing

$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

To

$page = baseename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

It then works.

Also your CSS is wrong if we get the php working. If we get your php working, the class current_page_item is being applied to the a tag, not the li tag. Thus your css you have where it says:

.horizmenu ul li.current_page_item a, .horizmenu ul li.current_page_item ul li a

is incorrect since you are applying the class current_page_item to the li tag. Change to

.horizmenu ul li a.current_page_item, .horizmenu ul li ul li a.current_page_item

Yeah I noticed this morning that the CSS was all wrong. No wonder it didn’t work!

And I also figured out why my second problem didn’t work, I had to add the folder name to the source path; case “webbinformatik/index.php”.

But thanks for your help!
