    text
    copied!<p>I have a menu in my view:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;news" &lt;?php if($nav_item == 'news'): ?&gt;class="active-nav-item"&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;&gt;News about Cars&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;products" &lt;?php if($nav_item == 'products'): ?&gt;class="active-nav-item"&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;&gt;Latest Products&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;media" &lt;?php if($nav_item == 'media'): ?&gt;class="active-nav-item"&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;&gt;Audio/Video&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>And I am sending to this view a variable $nav_item from my controller e.g. news (I have controllers for every item in the navigation so: news, products and media controller) like this:</p> <p> <pre><code>class News extends CI_Controller { public function index() { $data['nav_item'] = 'news'; // variable for navigation $data['main_content'] = 'pages/news'; $this-&gt;load-&gt;view('template', $data); } } </code></pre> <p>So, it is working fine, but the code in a link is really long:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;news" &lt;?php if($nav_item == 'news'): ?&gt;class="active-nav-item"&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;&gt;News about Cars&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would like to make a function from this where I send only two parameters and it will do other things automatic. E.g. it could look like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;news" &lt;?php activeitem($navitem,'news'); ?&gt;&gt;News about Cars&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>So, <code>if $navitem == 'news'</code> it echoes <code>"class='active-nav-item'"</code></p> <p>How to do this function so I can put it in my e.g. myown_helper.php in helpers folder.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
