I'm going to make a small site whith a structure something
like this:

Navigation: | Files:
Home | index.php, in the web-page root directory
About us | about_us.php, in the web-page root directory
Band | referring to index.php in subdirectory
Theatre group | referring to index.php in another subdirectory

The subdirectories should be able to contain subdirectories...

I want 2 things to happen in the navigaton:
1. If for example Home is the active page, it should not be a
hyperlink.

2. If pages f.ex. in Band directory is the active page
(not if it's index.php in its directory), it too should appear
with its title not a hyperlink, AND with each level in its
path as hyperlinks, like this:
Home
About us
Band
dirlevel (of bands directory)
subdirlevel
active file
Theatre group

I can't figure this out easily, but I'm shure it has been done
before!

What is your purpose in putting each file in its own sub-sub-sub-etc.
directory? In fact, why are you putting any of these in
subdirectories. Why not simply have the top level for Band be
band.php? Unless you are going to search over files in a given
directory, I see no reason for the added complications.

Example: I have a site that has customers that placed an order for
pictures. So, when the order is placed, I create a folder under a
"photos" folder and call that folder by the order number. I then
place the pictures for that order in that folder. That makes it easy
to have a pointer to that directory and to delete them when needed.

I see no such reason for doing so with your source code. Perhaps you
might want a separate folder for Band and Theater for clarity. I just
don't see any reason for going deeper than that. If you ahve a valid
reason for doing so, please enlighten me.

BTW, using relative paths works well.

You may be right, but I shure want _one_ level of subdirectories, to
keep it tidy!
How would nice code for that look, then?
