IF else Menu Selected [SOLVED]

[attila2452]

Okay so i've had a previous website :http://attilahajzer.comli.com/and I would like to use that MENU selected PHP part from there. but i cant remember how i did it, i also dont know what Hosting service i used so i cant get access to the PHP file. ive tried a bunch of ways to trying to get it but cant.and i now im running into the issue where im not that good at php and can't think of how i would do it. this is what i've come up with

<?php	if($_GET["page"] == "home"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "about"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "contact"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "store"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "affiliates"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}else ($_GET["page"] == ""){		echo"background-color:none;color:#035a91;";		}?>

am i missing anything? or am i doing it wrong?Im getting this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/attilah/public_html/sites/Antique/menu.php on line 12

I'm confused, so is this actual code in your PHP page?

<ul>	<li><a href="?page=home"<?php if(isset($_GET["page"]) && $_GET["page"] == "home"){echo"style='background-color: #000; color: #FFF;'";}else{echo"style='background-color:none;color:#035a91;'"; }?>>Home</a></li>	<li><a href="?page=about"<?php if(isset($_GET["page"]) && $_GET["page"] == "about"){echo"style='background-color: #000; color: #FFF;'";}else{echo"style='background-color:none;color:#035a91;'";} ?>>About</a></li>	<li><a href="?page=contact"<?php if(isset($_GET["page"]) && $_GET["page"] == "contact"){echo"style='background-color: #000; color: #FFF;'";}else{echo"style='background-color:none;color:#035a91;'";} ?>>Contact</a></li>	<li><a href="?page=store"<?php if(isset($_GET["page"]) && $_GET["page"] == "store"){echo"style='background-color: #000; color: #FFF;'";}else{echo"style='background-color:none;color:#035a91;'";} ?>>Store</a></li>	<li><a href="?page=affiliates"<?php if(isset($_GET["page"]) && $_GET["page"] == "affiliates"){echo"style='background-color: #000; color: #FFF;'";}else{echo"style='background-color:none;color:#035a91;'";} ?>>Affilialtes</a></li></ul>

What does it look like after the page has rendered? Are all quotes accounted for, do you seen anything strange? How is $_GET["page"] being passed to the page?From looking at this code however,

<?php	if($_GET["page"] == "home"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "about"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "contact"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "store"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}elseif($_GET["page"] == "affiliates"){		echo"background-color:#000;color:#FFF;";	}else ($_GET["page"] == ""){		echo"background-color:none;color:#035a91;";		}?>

the error is the ending conditional. If you are going to end it with else, then it should just look like this

	}else{		echo"background-color:none;color:#035a91;";		}

or this:

	}else if ($_GET["page"] == ""){		echo"background-color:none;color:#035a91;";		}

I think you would also be wanting to wrap the values of each CSS property in quotes.

This can all be done much more easily by giving each link a class/ID, and then using CSS to set the relevant class to a different color:

<style type="text/css">	a {		background-color:none;		color:#035a91;	}	a#<?php echo $_GET['page']; ?>_link {		background-color:#000;		color:#FFF;	}</style>

<ul>	<li><a href="?page=home" id="home_link">Home</a></li>	<!-- ... --></ul>
