WordPress "current_page_item"

I can't get this figured out...

I'm using the wp_list_pages function in WordPress to show my pages in my navbar.

I was able to make some edits to the classes.php file in "/wp/wp-includes".

PHP Code:

PHP Code:


			
<?php if (is_home()) {$highlight = "page_item";} else {$highlight = "current_page_item";}?> 

    <div id="navbar"> 
            <ul> 

                <li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li> 
                <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?> 
            </ul> 
        </div>

Above is the code for my navbar.

I want the HTML output to look like this:

HTML Code:

<li class="current_page_item"><a href="http://masonsklut.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://masonsklut.com/archives/">Archives</a></li>
<li><a href="http://masonsklut.com/contact/">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="http://masonsklut.com/donate/">Donate</a></li>

Thanks,
Mason

It displays the pages either way. I've never used it with 'echo'.

This is the code in classes.php that changes the output of wp_list_pages:

PHP Code:


			
extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
        $css_class = '';
        if ( !empty($current_page) ) {
            $_current_page = get_page( $current_page );
            if ( in_array($page->ID, (array) $_current_page->ancestors) )
                $css_class .= ' current_page_ancestor';
            if ( $page->ID == $current_page )
                $css_class .= 'current_page_item';
            elseif ( $_current_page && $page->ID == $_current_page->post_parent )
                $css_class .= ' current_page_parent';
        }

        $output .=     '<li class="'. $css_class . '"><a href="' . get_page_link($page->ID) . '">' . apply_filters('the_title', $page->post_title) . '</a>';
