Switching CSS based on menu

kilbey1

I am unable to get this function to work. Here's what I'm trying to do:

function cssnav($arg){
	if(function_exists('head')) {
	   $scategory = func_get_arg(2);
		 if($arg=$scategory){
			$class = 'selectsubmen';
		 }else{
			$class = 'navSub';
		 }
	}
	 return $class;
}

Useage example:
$scat16 = '  <a href="/contactus/reqinfo.php" class="'.cssnav('16').'">Request Info</a><BR>';

......
Where the page already has:
head('Title','2','16');
arguments 'title', 'category' and 'scategory'

We establish that head function exists.
If it does exist (and I'll put 'is not null' later), then assign variable $scategory to argument 2 (already established as 16)
indicate that we are on subcategory 16 in $scat16 in call to cssnav('16')
when cssnav() called, if $scategory of function = $arg of cssnav, then $class = 'selectsubmen'
else $class = navSub

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I still can't get it to work properly, though I am getting the menu to at least come up.

Not entirely clear to me what's supposed to be going on - clearly this is a work in heavy progress; what's the head() function needed for, and why check for a second argument if you're only going to be passing one? Oh, and don't you mean if($arg==$scategory)?

Hi there, thanks for your reply.

The head() function does 2 things for me.
1. holds the HTML information I need for the header of the page,
2. allows for 3 arguments: title, category and scategory (subcat)

When I call header(), my HTML is spit out, and my first arg is the title for the page:
function head($szTitle='',$category='0',$scategory='0') {

I figured, why not reuse this function once it's working. If I can assign the title, why not tell the menu what category and what subcat this page is, in order to highlight (using css) the appropriate info on the menu?

I'll post the menu. What I want to do is have a different CSS appear if we're on the page for that subcategory; otherwise, default to the standard CSS. $scat15, $scat16 and Case 5 is what I am currently testing with, where case 5 spits out $cat5, $scat15 and $scat16, but when I'm on designated page $scat15, I should have a different look to that subcategory link.

$cat0 = "";
$cat1 = '<a href="/erpservices/index.php" class="navHead">ERP Services</a><br>';
	$scat1 = '&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="/erpservices/profservices.php">Professional Services</a><BR>';

	$scat6 = "&nbsp;&nbsp;Offsite<BR>";
	$scat7 = "&nbsp;&nbsp;Offshore<BR>";
$cat3 = '<a href="/aboutus/index.php" class="navHead">About Us</a><br>';
	$scat8 = "&nbsp;&nbsp;Corporate Profile<BR>";
	$scat9 = "&nbsp;&nbsp;Our People<BR>";
	$scat10 = "&nbsp;&nbsp;Certifications<BR>";

Ultimately, I want to duplicate this left-side menu:
