How to make the navigation flexible?
It is actually pretty easy. All you need to have is a list of all the pages you want in your navigation, and a mean of knowing which one you are visiting right now.
The display of the page you are on should be highlighted, the others should be links.
Keep your navigation in one file and include it into every page.
To tell the script which page you are on right now, you use the $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI'] variable of PHP.
This variable displays the whole path of the document, you are right now looking at.
This is something you can tweak a bit and compare to your list of pages. You should set up all your pages the same way, as a template. Let's take a look at an example of a template
