Pagination active link

[Mark Johnson]

below is some code that i loop through records creating an unordered list. basically a table just in list form. What i want to do is in the url i have a variable being passes called page= and whatever page number i get at that time. I have a css style that when im on a specific page the pagination link that corresponds to that page should be green so i know by looking at pagination links what page im on instead of looking at the url for page number. how do i do that?

 

$n = 1;

                        while ($n <= $totalLinks and $totalLinks > 1)

                            if ($page == $n) {

                                echo '<li><a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . $n . '&skip=' . $skip . '&max=' . $max . '">' . $n . '</a>&nbsp;</li>';

                                $n++;

                            } else {

                                $skip = ($n - 1) * $max;

                                echo '<li><a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . $n . '&skip=' . $skip . '&max=' . $max . '">' . $n . '</a>&nbsp;</li>';

                                $n++;

                            }

 

The li tag thats active would be <li class="active">. Each time i click a page number on pagination links it should highlight for that page number.

figured it out my self. Sorry.. played with it and realized it was like supper simple what i did. Im learning php along with php for api for filemaker so im not familiar with it all.
