PHP include to highlight active page

Question

I am using this code in a PHP include to give a class to the active page the user is currently browsing.

  <li id="nav11">
          <a <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=="contact") echo " class=\"actv\""; ?> href="contact">Contact</a>
        </li>

However, nothing happens with my code above.

Have you tried dumping the $_SERVER variable to see what REQUEST_URI is? — TMH, May 27 '14 at 14:49

 <li id="nav11">
      <a <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=="/contact.php") echo " class=\"actv\""; ?> href="contact">Contact</a>
    </li>

Have you tried to change "contact" to "/contact.php"?
