[RESOLVED] IF statement Syntax (Whats wrong?)

[chrisguk]

Hi,

I have put together this syntax to take care of the current highlighted menu item class. First question, there is an error with my syntax but I dont know where?

Second question is, is there a more efficient way to do this or is that pretty much it?

print "<li" if ($page == 'home') {print "class=\"current\"}">" . \"<a href=" . ROOT_URL  . "about>" . _("About us") . "</a></li>\n";

YOu are in the middle of a print command, and can't use if like that. you should do the if with print inside, or use ternary:

print "<li ";
if ($page == 'home') {
  print 'class=\"current\"';
}
print "><a href=" . ROOT_URL  . "about>" . _("About us") . "</a></li>\n";

// -- OR --

print "<li " . ($page=='home' ? 'class="current"' : '') . "><a href=" . ROOT_URL  . "about>" . _("About us") . "</a></li>\n";
