Highlight active link on dynamic pages

[galiant]

I am trying to customize a site that is I quess what you would call dynamic. The tool creates pages, but there are no real pages all stored in the database. The pages are all index.php....pageid=1, etc.

I am trying to make the active link or the tab for the current page have a different appearence so people understand which page they are on. I understand the CSS of id=current or setting the class=current, but I can't set that for each page since their realy is no page and I don't have a different body tag even for each pages. The index.php pulls from several html pages and a css file. There is no page to use traditional css active link methods

I have been searching for several days for and seen some php code that looked like it might work, but I am not a php person. The code was something like <? if home==pageid echo id=current> Not really php code, but that was the concept. I tried it in several places without luck. I think the php code was for another opensource software. The ideas seamed sound though. Maybe it wouldn't work because I placed in an html file.

Can anyone help me set a php string for each of the links in my main.html file so that it will read and create an active link style for dynamic pages.

if it would help the site I am working on is www.leland-realestate.com
and the software is open-reality, but their site has been no help.

It sounds like after 2 days of searching that it could be handled easily with PHP, but I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated!

function checkPage($fPage)
{
  $fCurrent = $_GET['pg'];
  if($fPage = $fCurrent)
  {
     $fStyle = "class='activelink'";
     return $fStyle;
  }
}

This is assuming you are using some sort of pagination script, meaning you dynamicly create pages. You need to use this function for each page. It should be written in a for, or foreach type structure. Like such:

<a href="link/to/page.html" <?php checkPage ?> >$i</a>

$i is the default used for numbers usually...also activelink is the CSS class you would have. something like this:

a#activepage
{
  text-decoration: underline;
}
