Highlight current page with included header file

I have a header file that I include with php on every page. Inside the navigation I use php to check if someone is logged in. Depending on the check the header looks different (different list items).

Following these guidelines (highlight the current page in menu in php) I am aware that a good way to achieve my goal is to declare a basename[PHP_SELF]-variable and then add some code to those list items.

But that is where I mess up. Since I already use php inside my html to check if the user is logged in or not I get lost in the single or double quotes I need to use to add the php code to my list items.

<header>
<nav class="nav collapsible">
<ul class="list nav__list collapsible__content">
    <?php
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='contact.html'>Contact</a></li>";
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='about.html'>About</a></li>";
  ?>

  </ul>
  <a class="nav__brand" href="index.html"><img class="link__logo" src="images/logoSmall.png" /></a>
  <svg class="icon icon--white nav__toggler">
    <use xlink:href="images/sprite.svg#menu"></use>
  </svg>
  <title class="header__title">My Page</title>
  <ul class="list nav__list collapsible__content">
    <?php
    if (isset($_SESSION["userid"])) {
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='index.html'>Home</a></li>";
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='shop.php'>Shop</a></li>";
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='shoppingCart.html'>Shopping Cart</a></li>";
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='includes/logout.inc.php'>Log Out</a></li>";
    }
    else {
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='index.html'>Home</a></li>";
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='signup.php'>Sign Up</a></li>";
      echo "<li class='nav__item'><a href='login.php'>Log In</a></li>";
    }
  ?>
  </ul>
</nav>

Could someone please help me out how my list items should look while being echoed? Thank you so much!

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
