[Web-development (jquery)] Get Active/ Inactive/ Current tabs in Navigation Bar using PHP and jQuery

Get Active/ Inactive/ Current tabs in Navigation Bar using PHP and jQuery
php Code
Step 1: Get current page URL using PHP

$phpSelf = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

jQuery Code

Step 2: Check whether URL is similar to navigation bar button url, if they are similar we give it as the current active page,

< script type="text/javascript" >
$(document).ready(function(){
var root_url = "http://localhost"; var phpSelf = root_url+"<?php echo $phpSelf;?>"; $("#navigation li").each(function() {
var link = $(this).children("a").attr("href"); if(phpSelf == link){ $(this).addClass("active"); } }); }); < /script >

Change,
active to your active css class
http://localhost to website root directory
