<?php

      }
        
        foreach($menus as $url => $menu)
          {
            if(strtolower($_REQUEST[\"page\"]) == strtolower($url))
              {
                        $menu_lines .= \"<span class=\\"navlink-current\\">$menu</span><br />\n\";
                        $page_title = \"$menu\";
              }
            else
              {
                $menu_lines .= \"<a href=\\"\" . $root . $url . \"\\" class=\\"navlink\\">$menu</a><br />\n\";
              }
          }
?>

The code has been modified a bit, but everything works jsut fine and dandy

Thanks to everyone who helped

did you try %20 instead of   ?

you also have a typo on the kung fu one (&namp;bsp;)

Here's what I have so far:

<?php
//Place the menus in the order you want shown with their URL...
        //No comma after the last menu listed
        
        $menus = array(
            \"Home\" => \"index.php?page=home\",
            \"Links\" => \"index.php?page=links\",
            \"Computer&amp;nbsp;Section\" => \"index.php?page=comsect\",
            \"Kung&namp;bsp;Fu&nbsp;Section\" => \"index.php?page=kfsect\",
            \"Praying&amp;nbsp;Mantis&nbsp;History\" => \"index.php?page=mantishistory\",
            \"Your&amp;nbsp;Rights\" => \"index.php?page=rights\",
            \"Jokes\" => \"index.php?page=jokes\",
            \"About&amp;nbsp;Me\" => \"index.php?page=aboutme\",
            \"Contact&amp;nbsp;Me\" => \"index.php?page=contact\",
            \"Disclaimer\" => \"index.php?page=disclaimer\"
        );

    if(!isset($_REQUEST[\"page\"]))
      {
        $_REQUEST[\"page\"] = \"home\";
      }
        
        foreach($menus as $menu => $url)
          {
            if(strtolower($_REQUEST[\"page\"]) == strtolower($menu))
              {
                        $menu_lines .= \"<tr>\n<td>\n<span class=\\"navlink-current\\">$menu</span>\n</td>\n</tr>\";
                        $title = $menu;
                        $heading = $menu;
              }
            else
              {
                $menu_lines .= \"<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\\"$url\\" class=\\"navlink\\">$menu</a>\n</td>\n</tr>\";
              }
          }
?>

Which seems to work perfectly with the exceptions of the ones with spaces I tried   but that doesn't work either

try this:

<?php
// keys for our sub-arrays
define(\"_TEXT\", 0);
define(\"_URL\", 1);

function Format_Link_Text($link)
{
    return URLEncode(strtolower($link));
}

$menus = array(
    array(\"Home\", \"index.php?page=home\"),
    array(\"Services\", \"index.php?page=services\"),
    array(\"Links\", \"index.php?page=links\")
);

foreach($menus as $link) {
    if (Format_Link_Text($_REQUEST[\"page\"]) == Format_Link_Text($link[_TEXT])) {
        $menu_lines .= \"<span class=\\"navlink_current\\">$menu</span>\";
    } else {
        $menu_lines .= \"<a href=\\"\" . $link[_URL] . \"\\" class=\\"navlink\\">\" . $link[_TEXT] . \"</a>\";
    }
}
?>

sorry i was talking more of this part:
"Contact Me" => "index.php?page=contact"

The url is fine, sorry should have been more clear in my question

Quote: 1, It only prints "$menu";
if the url is index.php?page=home which is the very first page, how do you make it so that is prints "$menu"; when it's just index.php?

I'm not sure I fully understand your problem, but I _think_ this might solve it. Add the PHP code below before to the top of the earlier posted PHP code...

<?php
if(!isset($_REQUEST[\"page\"])) {
    $_REQUEST[\"page\"] = \"home\";
}
?>

i.e. "Contact Me" => "index.php?page=contact"

I tried "Contact Me" => "index.php?page=contact" but that doesn't work either :S

Try this....

"Contact Me" => "index.php?page=contact%20me"

I figured out the second question don't worry

Renegade — Sun, 19 Jan 2003 22:05:07 +0000

I'm trying Zollets way cause it seems to be the easiest, but now I have two more questions.

1, It only prints "$menu";
if the url is index.php?page=home which is the very first page, how do you make it so that is prints "$menu"; when it's just index.php?

2, Is there anyway I can change the title in that loop function too?

Suzanne: I'll be getting onto using lists for my navitation in the near future I just need to can't figure them out yet

Suzanne — Sun, 19 Jan 2003 16:33:17 +0000

*wink wink* try using lists instead of spans, too.
