How to make a menu with the current page NOT a link ...

TylerNZ

Hi,
I have a set of results come back from a mySql query ... and then using PHP I make each result a link to it's appropriate page.

How can I disable the link status for the current page the browser is on?

Or even somehow make a difference in the display so people know which page they're on.

Anyone?

Do something like

if ($link == $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])

echo the link name without link tags or make it bold or something.

It all depends on what your links look like in the database to know how you can match them up. What exactly is stored that you pull from the database?

<?php // sets up subnav
	$rt=$totalRows_result_SubNav;
	$rr=1;
	do {
?>
	<a href="about.php?subID=<? echo $row_result_SubNav['id']; ?>"> <? echo $row_result_SubNav['name']; ?></a> 
	<? if ($rt>$rr) {
	echo "|";
	$rr++;
	}
	?> 
	<?php
		} while ($row_result_SubNav = mysql_fetch_assoc($result_SubNav));
	   ?>

does that help?

Try this;

At the top of each top, set a variable
$current_page = 'id'; //id being whatever you use for the page id's
Then when you print out your links, you can check for

echo '| ';
while ($row_result_SubNav = mysql_fetch_assoc($result_SubNav))
{
if($row_result_SubNav['id']==$current_page)
{
echo $row_result_SubNav['name'] . ' | ';
} else
{
echo "<a href=\"about.php?subID=$row_result_SubNav[id]\">$row_result_SubNav[name]</a> | ";
}
}
