Hi,

I know this has been asked previously and I have gone thorugh the posts day after day trying to figure them but am having no luck at all.

Would appreciate someone in the know looking at my code and pointing me in the right direction..

I have an admin section to my site which contains 8 Spry tabs, each one containing a form that I can sue to update my database. I am trying to get the  "Submit" button to return me to the tab I was working on but so far either get returnd to the default page or the tabs themselves stop working.. Each seperate tab will have it's own form and so far cannot get even one to work . Can someone advise please.. code below for my admin page. The code I have inserted relating to the Spry tabs I have placed in bold here ..

Any help will be greatly appreciated..

Regards,

gyesdahl

The Spry URLUtils work only with values passed through the query string. If you are submitting data for insertion into a database, you should be using the POST method.

The simple way to do what you want is to put a hidden field in each of your forms indicating the tab number (counting from 0). For example, put this in the form in the second tab:

<input type="hidden" name="tab" value="1" />

In the PHP at the top of the page, use a conditional statement to find out if $_POST['tab'] exists:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['tab']) && !empty($_POST['tab'])) {
  $tabToShow = $_POST['tab'];
} else {
  $tabToShow = 0;
}
?>

Then use the value of $tabToShow to initialize the Spry tabbed panels:

<script type="text/javascript">


<!--
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1",{defaultTab:<?php echo $tabToShow;?> });
//-->
</script>

Hi David,

Many thanks for replying to my post and the time taken. I have tried your advice but my tabs are not working. Seems like everything I try ends up in this state Have checked the submit format as POST

I added the code and when the page loads the tabs are non-active.. code below with added parts in bold

***** code*****

<?php require_once('../Connections/la.php'); ?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['tab']) && !empty($_POST['tab'])) {
  $tabToShow = $_POST['tab'];
} else {
  $tabToShow = 0;
}

if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;   
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}

$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form2")) {
  $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO days (name) VALUES (%s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['day'], "text"));


////////////  MY INSERT //////////////////////
$tabToShow = 7; // 2 = 3rd tab

  mysql_select_db($database_la, $la);

You're still hard-coding the value of $tabToShow here:

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form2")) {
  $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO days (name) VALUES (%s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['day'], "text"));
 
////////////  MY INSERT //////////////////////
$tabToShow = 7; // 2 = 3rd tab 
//////////////////////////////////////////////

However, the reason it's not working is this:

  $insertGoTo = "admin.php";
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "" : "";
    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
  }
  header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));

By redirecting the page, even though it's being sent back to the same page, all variables are being destroyed. Remove that, and it should work.
