If it were me, I would have written it like: $categorys = array('home', 'services', 'gallery', 'about_us', 'contact_us', 'testimonials'); foreach($categorys as $category){ $temp = str_replace("_", " ", $category); if( $_GET['page'] != $category && $temp = '<a href="index.php?page='. $category .'">') { echo <a href="index.php?page='.$category . '">'.$replace.'</a>'; } else { echo "<li>{$temp}</li>" ; } I haven't tested this code, but this is how I would have thought about going about it. My questions are, is this wrong? is it amaturish? -- Blessings David M.
