johnnyflower Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 hi, i actually got some code working to add an ID dynamically to a website i'm working on (it was a momentous occasion ). here's the code: in the functions.php file: $url = 'tanzaniatravel.za.com'; $page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $page = str_replace("/","",$page); $page = str_replace(".php","",$page); $page = str_replace("$url", "", "$page"); i call the functions.php file into the index.php file, and add this as the opening body tag: <body id="<?php echo $page; ?>"> this dynamically adds an ID named after whatever the actual page is named. now, i make use of the following top navigation structure: <ul class="nav-top"> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a class="nav-top-lineheight" href="index.php" title="Tanzania Travel home">Home</a></li> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a class="nav-top-lineheight" href="about.php" title="Why use TanzaniaTravel.Za.Com">Why us</a></li> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Overview and area map</a></li> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Tanzania National Park</a></li> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Tanzania Safari Lodges</a></li> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Tanzania Tour Itineraries</a></li> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Safari Dates & Prices</a></li> <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Zanzibar Kilimanjaro</a></li> <li class="<?php echo ($page == '' ? 'nav-top-current' : ''); ?> nav-top-last-li"><a class="nav-top-lineheight" href="" title="">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> you'll see that i've left the $page variable empty. i want that variable to call in the current page's ID, so that only the current page's <li> is active. this, of course, will greatly assist with developing the CSS for the navigation. i appreciate your help very much. thank you.
