How can PHP be used to dynamically highlight the current page in a navigation menu using aria-current="page"?

To dynamically highlight the current page in a navigation menu using aria-current="page" in PHP, you can compare the current page URL with the URLs of the navigation menu items. If they match, add the aria-current="page" attribute to the corresponding menu item. This ensures that the screen reader will announce the current page to users. 

<?php
// Get the current page URL
$current_page = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// Define an array of navigation menu items with their URLs
$menu_items = array(
    'Home' => '/',
    'About' => '/about',
    'Services' => '/services',
    'Contact' => '/contact'
);

// Loop through the menu items and add aria-current="page" attribute to the current page
foreach ($menu_items as $label => $url) {
    $aria_current = ($url == $current_page) ? 'aria-current="page"' : '';
    echo '<a href="' . $url . '" ' . $aria_current . '>' . $label . '</a>';
}
?>
