I want to change the class of the selected navbar item to active. How would I do this with a general php header file?

I have multiple menu options on the navbar and I want to indicate which one is currently open by changing the class to active. How would I do this using a PHP file that is the same for all the pages? Is there a way to program PHP so that it changes the menu item class based off what page is open?
