PHP if statement inside foreach to check WordPress pages - php

Question

I have a foreach statement that loops through all of the pages of a WordPress installation and lists them inside a div (using the get_pages() function).
It currently looks like this:
<?php
$pages = get_pages();
foreach ( $pages as $page ) {
$linkPage = '<a class="order" href="' . get_page_link( $page->ID ) . '">';
$linkPage .= $page->post_title;
$linkPage .= '</a>';
echo $linkPage;
}
?>
What I need to do now is to add an if statement that inserts the string "current" after class="order... if the link is the one from the current page.
It may seem like a silly question, but I'm a front-end developer with little PHP experience, and every time I tried to add the if I got a syntax error, claiming there was an unexpected if statement.
I hope I made myself clear.
If any help can be provided, it will be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

<?php
//get id of your current page
$post_id = $post[0]->ID;
$pages = get_pages();
foreach ( $pages as $page ) {
$current = $post_id == $page->ID ? ' current' : '';
$linkPage = '<a class="order '.$current.'" href="' . get_page_link( $page->ID ) . '">';
$linkPage .= $page->post_title;
$linkPage .= '</a>';
echo $linkPage;
}
?>
Check this, I'm not sure if $post_id = $post[0]->ID works in your wp version, but the if-statement logic is correct and will work. Try to echo $post_id and $current if something wrong.

Answer 2

Try this Code :
<?php
//get id of your current page
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$pages = get_pages();
foreach ( $pages as $page ) {
//Condition statement to add the class current
$current = $post_id == $page->ID ? 'current' : '';
$linkPage = '<a class="order '.$current.'" href="' . get_page_link( $page->ID ) . '">';
$linkPage .= $page->post_title;
$linkPage .= '</a> <br> ';
echo $linkPage;
}
?>
Hope this will help you...
