Question...

Code:

              <li <?php if ($page == 'lotteries' || $page == '*_lottery') { echo 'class="active"'; } ?>>
                <a href="index.php?page=lotteries"><?php echo $lotto_button; ?></a>
              </li>

I know the above will never work but it helps me get my question asked, how can I have it so the * is wildcard for any possible combination ?

ex. hi_lottery, how_lottery, are_lottery, you_lottery

Basically as I add pages that are *_lottery, the class should always be active.

Ty.

This is for the site in my sig.

You have to pass parameters to bind_param() by reference, which means you have to pass a single variable (not a concatenated string). There's no reason you can't construct such a variable specifically to pass in, though:

Code:

$className = '%' . $this->className . '%';
$query->bind_param('s', $className);

Code:

              <li <?php if ($page == 'lotteries' || preg_match("/(.*)_lottery/", $page)) { echo 'class="active"'; } ?>>
                <a href="index.php?page=lotteries"><?php echo $lotto_button; ?></a>
              </li>

Problem solved.
