What are some potential ways to dynamically change the appearance of a navigation frame in PHP based on the currently loaded page in a specific frame?

To dynamically change the appearance of a navigation frame in PHP based on the currently loaded page in a specific frame, you can use PHP to add a specific class or style to the navigation item corresponding to the current page. This can be achieved by checking the current page URL or a specific identifier and then applying the necessary styling to highlight the active navigation item. 

<?php
$current_page = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
?>

<nav>
    <ul>
        <li <?php if($current_page == 'home.php') echo 'class="active"'; ?>><a href="home.php">Home</a></li>
        <li <?php if($current_page == 'about.php') echo 'class="active"'; ?>><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
        <li <?php if($current_page == 'services.php') echo 'class="active"'; ?>><a href="services.php">Services</a></li>
        <li <?php if($current_page == 'contact.php') echo 'class="active"'; ?>><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>
