Basic Navigation Menu

PHP Code

require 'src/navigation.php';

use Nav\Navigation;

$menu = array(
    'Home' => '/',
    'Link Text' => '/link-2',
    'Sample' => '/sample',
    'Another Page' => '/yet-another-link',
    'Google' => 'https://www.google.co.uk',
    'Final Link' => '/final-page',
);

// For this example we are saying we are on the home page of the website
// You should use something like $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] or filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI', FILTER_SANITIZE_URL)
$currentURI = '/';

$navigation = new Navigation($menu, $currentURI);
echo($navigation->createNavigation());

Output

    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li class="active"><a title="Home" class="active">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="/link-2" title="Link Text">Link Text</a></li>
        <li><a href="/sample" title="Sample">Sample</a></li>
        <li><a href="/yet-another-link" title="Another Page">Another Page</a></li>
        <li><a href="https://www.google.co.uk" title="Google">Google</a></li>
        <li><a href="/final-page" title="Final Link">Final Link</a></li>
    </ul>

Multi Level Navigation Menu

PHP Code

require 'src/navigation.php';

use Nav\Navigation;

$menu = array(
    'Home' => '/',
    'Link Text' => '/link-2',
    'Sample Submenu' => '/sample',
    array(
        'Sub item 1' => '/sub-pages/subpage1',
        'Sub item 2' => '/sub-pages/subpage2',
        'Has another level' => '/sub-pages/has-sub-pages',
        array(
            'Final Level' => '/sub-sub-pages/final-sub-level',
            'Hello World' => '/sub-sub-pages/hello-world',
        ),
    ),
    'Another Page' => '/yet-another-link',
    'Google' => 'https://www.google.co.uk',
    'Final Link' => '/final-page',
);

$currentURI = '/sub-sub-pages/hello-world'; // $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

$navigation = new Navigation($menu, $currentURI);
echo($navigation->createNavigation());

Change HTML Classes/Navigation ID

You can change the default class elements on the navigation and breadcrumb items by using the following commands

PHP Code

require 'src/navigation.php';

use Nav\Navigation;

$menu = array(
    'Home' => '/',
    'Link Text' => '/link-2',
    'Sample Submenu' => '/sample',
    array(
        'Sub item 1' => '/sub-pages/subpage1',
        'Sub item 2' => '/sub-pages/subpage2',
        'Has another level' => '/sub-pages/has-sub-pages',
        array(
            'Final Level' => '/sub-sub-pages/final-sub-level',
            'Hello World' => '/sub-sub-pages/hello-world',
        ),
    ),
    'Another Page' => '/yet-another-link',
);

$navigation = new Navigation($menu, '/sub-sub-pages/hello-world');
$navigation->setActiveClass('current-item c-item')
           ->setNavigationClass('my-nav-class')
           ->setNavigationID('my-unique-navigation-id')
           ->setDropDownClass('my-drop-down-class drop-down');
echo($navigation->createNavigation());

            <li><a href="/sub-pages/subpage2" title="Sub item 2">Sub item 2</a></li>
            <li class="current-item c-item"><a href="/sub-pages/has-sub-pages" title="Has another level" class="current-item c-item">Has another level</a>
                <ul class="my-drop-down-class drop-down">
