var url = window.location.pathname, 
    urlRegExp = new RegExp(url.replace(/\/$/,'') + "$"); 
if(url == '/') {
	$('#menu a').first().addClass('active');
} else {
	$('#menu a').each(function(){
		if(urlRegExp.test(this.href.replace(/\/$/,''))){
			$(this).addClass('active');
		} 
	});		
	if($('#menu a').hasClass('active') == false) {
		$('#menu a').first().addClass('active');

JQuery makes it alot easier.
This way you don't have to add the current page class item in the menu manually, it will be done automatically for you.

in php you can do it also automatically

you need also the class item but its also possible ^^

I know that it can be done in php but if you are not building the menu dynamically from the database and just have a single php file with the menu you might want to reconsider using php. Don't forget that this can be used in combination with many other languages and not necessarily php.
