The making of a menu with two css-classes.

[eluser]überfuzz[/eluser]
I'm in the middle of mustering a one level menu. The menu is going to have two different css-classes. 'menu' and 'active' added if the url is right. The array used to render the array, an example:

Code:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [segment] => home
            [name] => Home
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [segment] => agenda
            [name] => Agenda
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [segment] => contact
            [name] => Contact
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [segment] => etc
            [name] => Etc
        )

)

I'm looping through the array in a view-file to get the html code.

Code:

<div id="menu">
    <ul>
        &lt;?php
foreach($menu AS $value)
{
    $class = ($this->uri->segment(1) == $value['segment']) ? 'menu active' : 'menu';      //Nu är active = "menu active" och normal = "menu", ändra i fall du vill ha det på något annat sätt.
    echo "\n\t\t<li>";
    echo "<a >".$value['name']."</a>";
    echo "</li>";
}
?&gt;

    </ul>
</div>

I would appreciate some pointers on this matter. For instance, is there a nicer CI-way of doing this? How do you render your menus..?

Edit, the a href="" part isn't displayed properly..?

There's no CI way of doing this. Your method is just fine.

You can use an alternate syntax for the foreach() command if it helps use HTML around it:

Code:

<div id="menu">
    <ul>
        &lt;?php foreach ($menu AS $value): ?&gt;
        <li>
        &lt;?php $class = ($this->uri->segment(1) == $value['segment']) ? 'menu active' : 'menu'; //Nu är active = "menu active" och normal = "menu", ändra i fall du vill ha det på något annat sätt. ?&gt;
        <a href="#" class="&lt;?php echo $class; ?&gt;">&lt;?php echo $value['name']; ?&gt;</a>
        </li>
        &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;
    </ul>
</div>
