 * Hi,
 * I have a list item as a menu in my header.php file. I need a php function that
   allows me to set the class of the anchor tag to “active” based on which page/
   URL is currently loaded. I don’t mind if this is done by page ID, although would
   prefer to use URL so that I could have custom permalinks of domain/%postname%.
 * Any ideas welcome. So far I can get it to set all pages of a certain ID to active
   but that must mean I have got my statement being true no matter what page you
   are on.
 * Hope that makes sense?
 * Thanks in advance…
