function menu_set_active_item

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 7.x drupal-7.x/includes/menu.inc \menu_set_active_item()

Set the active path, which determines which page is loaded.

Parameters

$path: A Drupal path - not a path alias.

Note that this may not have the desired effect unless invoked very early in the page load, such as during hook_boot, or unless you call menu_execute_active_handler() to generate your page output.
