I have been using in a lot of websites a script that creates a menu bar but
avoids that the button to the current page can be clicked.
I am rather satisfied with it (although suggestions for better ways of doing
things are welcome, the script follows below FYI)
No there is a a problem that for a new site (www.orkestbasic.nl/nieuw) the
menu with the links has to be placed in a separate frame because the right
part of the page must be scrollable. So the check wether a button has to be
a link or not cannot be done anymore with checking PHP_SELF as I am used to
do.
I am thinking of making all the links to something like <a href =
"main.php?content=songlist">
then main.php would be a frameset with something like <frame name =
"content" src = "<?php echo "$content.php"?>">
In the left frame I could do a similar thing with a small modification to
the createlink function (see below) I often use.
But I would like to know if there are more elegant suggestions for it. Could
not find really good tips on google. Thanks for any help


FYI This is the function I have been using until now.


function mvwMaakLink($omschrijving, $verwijzing, $separator = "",
$aHrefClass = "", $noHrefClass = "")
{
$locatie = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
//link to the current page, no need for clicking on
it
//echo $locatie;
if (strstr($locatie, $omschrijving))
{
$beginTag = "";
$slotTag = "";
if ($noHrefClass != "")
{
$beginTag = "<span class = \"$noHrefClass\">";
$slotTag = "</span>";
}
echo "$beginTag$verwijzing$slotTag";
}
else
{
$beginTag = "<a ";
if ($aHrefClass != "")
{
$beginTag .= "class = \"$aHrefClass\" ";
}
$beginTag .= "href = \"$omschrijving\">";
echo("$beginTag$verwijzing</a>$separator");
}
}
