Active link thing

[chronos]

I'd like to know one thing.
Look at www.digwar.com and click the links. When e.g. contact page is open, the contact text isnt a link anymore, only bold text. I know that is ASP page, and has nothing to do with PHP, but that was an example to tell you what I mean. I'd like to know if that's possible to do with PHP. I have a menu.phtml included in my PHP page, and I'd like those links to be like in www.digwar.com.

Please tell me if you know how to!

The trick is to make your menu script smarter. Before outputting the link tag for each menu option, just check what page is including the menu script. If the page matches the menu option, output "bold" or "strong" text instead of the link html.

It's fairly simple. If you're link goes to a unique URL that you know (i.e. not dynamic) then it's as easy as using an if statement around each of your menu items.

if ($URL == "http://www.mysite.com/news") {
print "<b>News</b>;
}
else {
print "<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/news\">News</a>";
}

Simplicity itself. If you have dyanmic links then you need to do a little more work.
