PHP Menu function with active class

Question

I have created an array with my menu items, which includes sub menus but i'm not sure how to add an active class if the url matches.

I need to add an active class to both

<li class="treeview">

and the <li> under <ul class="treeview-menu">

my array contains the link key in nested arrays as below

any help will really be appreciated

'menu-name' => array(
    'Top Level 1' => array(
        'icon' => 'fa-volume-control-phone',
        'Sub Item' => array(
            'link' => '/?seq='.$seq,
            'icon' => ' fa-asterisk',
        ),
        'Sub Item' => array(
            'link' => '/voip/?seq='.$seq,
            'icon' => 'fa-history',
        ),
    ),
    'Devices &amp; Numbers' => array(
        'link' => '/?seq='.$seq,
        'icon' => 'fa-phone',
    ),
    'Tools' => array(
        'icon' => 'fa-wrench',
        'Account Settings' => array(
            'link' => '/?seq='.$seq,
            'icon' => 'fa-cog',
        ),
        'Delete Account' => array(
            'link' => '/?seq='.$seq,
            'icon' => 'fa-trash',
        ),
    ),
),

if(!function_exists("show_side_menu")) {
    function show_side_menu($menu) {
        global $navigation;

        if(!empty($navigation[ $menu ])) {
            $ret = '';

You should check the Uri inside the function, please try this code

$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

inside the loop you call, check the current URI is equal to your link, then you should add the class after checking, like this,

    if ($b['link'] == $uri) {
        $class = 'your-active-class';
    } else {
       $class = '';
    }

    $ret.= '<a href="'.$b['link'].'" class="'.$class.'">'

I hope you understand this

Suppose you are in `something.php?param1=3`, `$uri` would be `something.php?param1=3` while `$b['link']` would be `something.php`, which are different even if they should match the active class. – ALFA Oct 11 '19 at 07:42
@ALFA also, the active class has to be added to the parent – charlie Oct 12 '19 at 09:34
