Solved: I added the trim function around the str_replace function found in the functions.php file. Just turned to be a space problem


ey everyone, I have an array of links that I'm echoing out into an unordered list that I am using for a sites navigation.

I would like to change the color of a link to show that the user is currently on that page.

Here's the code I have so far:

functions.php

PHP Code:

function getScriptName() {

return str_replace('/', ' ',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
} 


page.php

PHP Code:

$scriptname = getScriptName();

            
                $links = array('index.php' => 'Home', 'portfolio.php' => 'Portfolio', 'page.php' => 'Blog', 'about.php' => 'About');
                
                foreach ($links as $url => $description) {
                    if (strcmp($scriptname, $url) == 0) {
                        echo '<li><a href="' . $url . '" title=""><span style="background: #63AFD0;" >' .$description. '</span></a></li>';
                    }
                    else {
                        echo "<li><a href=\"$url\" title=\"\">$description</a></li>";
                    }
                } 


I tried echoing out the result of the string comparison, but it gave a -1 each time. Any ideas?

P.S. I have included the functions file in the page.php file.

Try this.

PHP Code:

<?php
$self = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

$links = array('index.php' => 'Home', 'portfolio.php' => 'Portfolio', 'page.php' => 'Blog', 'about.php' => 'About'); 
                 
                foreach ($links as $url => $description) { 
                    if(strpos($self, $url) !== FALSE) {
                        echo '<li><a href="' . $url . '" title=""><span style="background: #63AFD0;" >' .$description. '</span></a></li>'; 
                    } 
                    else { 
                        echo "<li><a href=\"$url\" title=\"\">$description</a></li>"; 
                    } 
                }  
?>
