I do this as sort of hobby and want to no if I can improve.
This is a simplified version of my code that normal works with bootstrap classes and id's.
At the bottom there is the input of the classes.
I have already a working version connected with SQL Database.
but want to take it a step further with object oriented php.
The next step for me is to create the content page underneath the navbar.
I work with a .htaccess file that redirects everything to index.php, and then use the URI to show the right content.
The main class
<?php
class Main
{
public $URL;
public $PageName;
public function __construct($PageName)
{
$this->PageName = $PageName;
$this->URL = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
public static function header() {
echo '<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
...
</head>';
}
public static function navstart() {
echo '<body><nav><ul>';
}
public static function navend() {
echo '</ul></nav>';
}
}
the navitem class is for making the items in the nav bar<br>
class navItem extends Main
{
public function __construct($PageName)
{
parent::__construct($PageName);
$ActiveUrl = ($this->URL == "/".$this->PageName) ? " active " : " ";
echo '<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link'.$ActiveUrl.'" href="'.$this->PageName.'">'.$this->PageName.'</a></li> ';
}
}
The nav dropdown class to make the dropdown in the navbar
class navDropdown extends Main
{
public function __construct($PageName, $Item)
{
parent::__construct($PageName);
$shortURL = substr($this->URL, 0, strpos($this->URL, "_"));
$ActiveUrl = ($shortURL == "/".$this->PageName) ? " active " : " ";
echo '
<li class="nav-item dropdown ">
<a class="nav-link'.$ActiveUrl.' href="#">'.$this->PageName.'</a>
<div>';
foreach ($Item as $Item) {
$ActiveUrl = ($this->URL == "/".$this->PageName.'_'.$Item) ? " active " : " ";
echo '
<a class="dropdown-item'.$ActiveUrl.'" href="./'.$this->PageName.'_'.$Item.'" >'.$Item.'</a>';
}
echo '</div></li> ';
}
}
the variables to make the page
main::header();
main::navstart();
$test = new navDropDown("test", array('test1' , 'test2', 'test3' , 'test4'));
$home = new navItem("home");
$about = new navItem("about");
$pages = new navDropDown("pages",array("one", "two", "three" ));
$contact = new navItem("contact");
main::navend();
the navitem class is for making the items in the nav bar. \$\endgroup\$ – pacmaninbw Apr 22 at 22:00
