Hello,
I am kind of wandering how you got the PHP code in your post to work? I tried it by having all you said on one page. But when I ran it on the server, I got some nasty error messages. Such as 'Undefined variable nav on line 22', 'Undefined variable active on line 24', 'Undefined variable active on line 25'.
My full page code is placed below.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-US">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Creating a highlighted link</title>
<style type="text/css">
a {color: black;}
body.page1 a.page1 {color: red;}
body.page2 a.page2 {color: red;}
body.page3 a.page3 {color: red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="nav">
<li><a class="page1" href="page1.php">Page one</a></li>
<li><a class="page2" href="page2.php">Page two</a></li>
<li><a class="page3" href="page3.php">Page three</a></li>
</ul>
<?php
function create_nav($active)
{
$nav = '';
if ($active == 'home' { $nav .= '<li class="active">';} else $nav .= '<li>';} $nav .= '<a href="#">Home</a></li>';
if ($active == 'about' { $nav .= '<li class="active">'; } else { $nav .= '<li>'; } $nav .= '<a href="#">About</a></li>';
if ($active == 'contact' { $nav .= '<li class="active">'; } else { $nav .= '<li>'; } $nav .= '<a href="#">Contact</a></li>';
return $nav;
}
echo create_nav('home');
?>
</body>
</html>
I will really appreciate some feedback from you.
Thanks in advance.
