    First of all: never include files based on user input! This is one of the worst PHP security issues you can make. Please use (at least) a switch statement to include the files. Like this:

    
    switch ($_GET) {
    case "services": include('somefilename.php'); break;
    case "portfolio": include('someotherfilename.php'); break;
    default: include('homepageorsomething.php'); break;
    }
    ?>

    Please read more on PHP security on this page: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/PHP-Security-Mistakes/

    And second you need to set the active state to the LI wich is active at the moment by adding an if-statement to the line. Like this:


    >Services>
