help with menu setting "current" tab when in a function

[LJackson]

Hi All

i have a function which includes the header info for a site i am doing, im having trouble figuring out how to set a tab as "current" as this function is called on each page.

the function is

PHP Code:

<?php function header_info()
{?>
    <!-- Header -->
    <header>
        <h1 class="logo"><a href="index.php"></a></h1>
        <nav>
            <ul class="sf-menu">
                <li class="current"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
                <li><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
                <li><a href="services.php">Services</a></li>
                <li>
                      <a href="portfolio.php">Portfolio</a>
                    <ul>
                           <li><a href="portfolio.php?gallery=hair">Hair Portfolio</a></li>
                           <li><a href="portfolio.php?gallery=beauty">Beauty Portfolio</a></li>
                           <li><a href="portfolio.php?gallery=wedding">Wedding Portfolio</a></li>
                           <li><a href="portfolio.php?gallery=tanning">Tanning Portfolio</a></li>
                           <li><a href="portfolio.php?gallery=training">Training Portfolio</a></li>
                           <li><a href="portfolio.php?gallery=miscellaneous">Miscellaneous Portfolio</a></li>                            
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="promotions.php">Promotions</a></li>
                <li><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
            </ul>
        </nav>
        <div class="clear"></div>
    </header>
    
    <!-- Slider -->
    <div class="mp-slider">
        <ul class="items">
            <li><img src="images/slide-1.jpg" alt="" /><div class="banner"><span class="row-1"></span><span class="row-2"></span></div></li>

        </ul>
    </div><?php
}

as you can see the class of home is set to current but as this is within a function its always set to home no matter which page your on. how can i change the class "current" depending on the pae the user is on?

many thanks

pass a parameter to the function:

PHP Code:

<?
function header_info($gallery) {
...
  ?><li><a href="portfolio.php?gallery=beauty" <? if($gallery == 'beauty') echo 'class="active"'; ?>>Beauty Portfolio</a></li><?
...
}
