[PHP] help with setting menu styles with PHP

[Bruce Gilbert]

 am trying to accomplish something utlizing PHP. What I have is a menu
marked up as such:

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li id="active"><a href="About_Me.php" title="you know you want to learn
more about me" id="current">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="Skillset.php" title="I've got skillz">Skill set</a></li>
<li><a href="Hireme.php" title="I can do wonders for your web presence">Hire
Me</a></li>
<li><a href="Portfolio.php" title="web sites, graphics,
newsletters">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="Contact.php"  title="how to get in touch with
me">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="Resume.php"  title="my beautiful
resume">R&eacute;sum&eacute;</a></li>
<li><a href=" http://inspiredevolution.blogs.com/inspiredevolutioncom/";
title="the blog for Inspired-Evolution.com" >Blog</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="RSS.php"  title="Syndication that is really
simple" >RSS</a></li>

</ul>
</div>

and then I have everything styled nicely with CSS to give you the menu you
see here:

What I want to do next is to change the menu from being hard coded on all of
my pages to being an include making the menu more manageable. The stumbling
block is I want to be able to keep the CSS functionality where you have the
active indicator which has different CSS for the link of the page you are
on. I have seen this done with PHP before with something like IF on active
page use this style  ELSE use this style. Can any PHP gurus assist me in
coding something like this?

I don't believe it is too difficult, but beyond by scope right at the
moment.
