I am confused by the class on Help Please!

Hi guys, I am currently working on the video "Adding Active States to the Navigation" for PHP. I am not sure how this piece of code affects the website. <li class="books<?php if ($section=="books") {echo " on"; } ?>"> I assume that this code does the following things: li class = books => assign the list value a class named books the php code segment says, hey check if $section variable has a value and if the value is "books". if it is books then set the class = "on" So when we load this page, the browser would apply proper css code to this list item. Am i right ??
