[PHP] Re: Please Help - getting a hightlight depending on selected page
Sorry Hugh - didn't mean to send it just to you!!
Hi!
Thanks for the help!
It works great, but I've now made the array 2 dimensional:
?php
$index = array (
The Music Behindbr /Les Miseacute;rables = array (About Les
Miseacute;rables),
Introduction = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
Changes amp; Cuts = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
Scores = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
Orchestra = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
Synthesizers = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
Sound System = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
Articles = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
21st Centurybr /Les Miseacute;rables = array (About Les
Miseacute;rables),
Information = array (About Les Miseacute;rables),
Discussion Forums = array (About Les Miseacute;rables)
);
?
(they're not all the same - it's just for quick tesing purposes!)
Now in the nav menu I get:
Warning: Undefined offset: 0 in E:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 103
Warning: Undefined offset: 1 in E:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 103
Warning: Undefined offset: 2 in E:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 103
Warning: Undefined offset: 3 in E:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 103
etc... down to 10
the rest of the script is:
?php
$items = count($index);
for($i = 0; $i $items; $i++) {
echo \ntrtd class='navtext';
if ($sect == $i)
echo id='sel';
echo a href='index.php?sect=$iid=0'.$index[$i]./a;
LINE 103
echo /td/tr;
}
?
is it something to do with the count($index)?
Thanks for all the help!

[PHP] Re: Please Help - getting a hightlight depending on selected page
Is the menu part of each page? Or is it a separate file/script that gets included in each page? Or is the navigation in a separate frame? If the menu is hard-coded into each page, then there's no reason to use PHP, because you have to modify each page ANYWAY, so you might as well just set each page to what it needs to be. The only way you are going to be able to accomplish this with significantly less work than that is if you store your image URLs and menu links in a database. In that case as you printed out the links, you would check each one to see if $PHP_SELF was equal to the link. Ultimately there are so many ways that you could be doing this that there is no simple answer. Post your menu code, and tell us how it gets included in your page and then we can help...

I have a page that has a navigation table on the left with various links: Information Software Cars Dishwashers Paper Contact etc... (not the real links ;)) and I want the cell of the section I am in to be highlighted (ie if I am in Cars I want the Cars link to have a red background). I have set it up so that in CSS the id sel is a red b/g. How do I set the id of a certain cell to sel taking it from the url (index.php?menu=cars as a very bad example of php coding :)).

[PHP] Re: Please Help - getting a hightlight depending on selected page
Okay, well you could either put code like this into each td cell like
this:
td class=navtext ?php if (sect == 5) print id=\sel\; ?
That is kind of ugly, however. A more elegant solution would be to make
an array containing the links then do a loop kind of like this (I'm just
typing the code off the top of my head, so there is likely to be some
errors):
$menuItems = array('Home', 'Introduction', 'Changes amp; Cuts',
'Scores', 'Orchestra', 'Synthesizers', 'Sound System', 'Articles');
$i = 0;
foreach ($menuItems as $item) {
if($sect == $i) {
print trtd class=\navtext\ id=\sel\a
href=\\$item/a/td/tr\n;
} else {
print trtd class=\navtext\a
href=\\$item/a/td/tr\n;
}
$i++;
}
The obvious problem with my solution is the links will also presumably
have to be entered into an array, and I don't think the foreach
construct can work on two arrays simultaneously, but you can use the $i
variable as the index to your second array.

I am using this 1 page as the php 'template' with content added depending on
the url. For example, to go to the synthesizers page the url is:
index.php?sect=5id=0page=31
where sect=5 is the part that sets the menu highlight (the menu is alway the

from Home to Synthesizers.
