Adding "current" class if using get_pages

    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
		}
	}
?>
