   Hello!

   For my particular site and for several reasons, I can't use wp_list_pages for a nav menu in part of my theme. So I use the following code instead:

   <ul>
   <li>
   <?php $parent_link = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
   <a href="<?php echo $parent_link; ?>"><?php $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent); echo $parent_title; ?></a></li>
   
   <?php 
   
   $mypages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&sort_column=menu_order&hierarchical=0');
   
   	if($mypages)
   	{
   		foreach($mypages as $page)
   		{
   	?>
   	<li>
   	<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a>  </li>
   
   	<?php
   		}
   	}
   ?>
   </ul>

   How do I add a "current" class for the page that I'm currently on? I figure I could do it using some jquery or something (not sure, but I imagine I could), but I'd like to do it in the php if at all possible. Can someone give me a hand? Maybe something I need to add in my functions.php? Or do I keep it in this template? I imagine that it'd be through a simple IF statement right inside the href where I echo the page link, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

   Thanks!

   Got it!

   <?php
   $current_id = get_the_ID();
   $mypages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&sort_column=menu_order&hierarchical=0');
   
   	if($mypages)
   	{
   		foreach($mypages as $page)
   		{
   		$link_page_id = ($page->ID)
   	?>
   
   <li>
   	<a <?php if ($current_id == $link_page_id) : ?> class="current" <?php else : ?><?php endif; ?>class="current" <?php else : ?><?php endif; ?> href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a>
   
   </li>
   	<?php
   		}
   	}
   ?>
