在使用header.php页面时，如何使用PHP定义导航栏的“活动”选项卡

Question

I'm trying do a navigation bar that has a "current" class to whichever page we're on. But the navigation bar is on a header.php page and I use an include tag to bind pages with the header.

How would I go about this? I assumed I would use something similar to;

if(strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'index') !== false){;

But I'm not confident enough to tackle this on my own.

At the top of every page create a variable called for example $page_name, and assign a name to each page.

Then in every tab add the current class in base of the page's name.

Example:

<a href="/home" class="<?php echo $page_name == 'home' ? 'current' : '' ?>"></a>
<a href="/contact" class="<?php echo $page_name == 'contact' ? 'current' : '' ?>"></a>
