Jquery Tabs With Php & Mysql

[bravo14]

I am trying to build some jQuery tabs using PHP & MySQL so it has the following layout

 

<div id="tabs">
<ul>
	<li><a href="#tabs-1">Tab 1</a></li>
	<li><a href="#tabs-2">Tab 2</a></li>
	<li><a href="#tabs-3">Tab 3</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
   tab 3 content
</div>
<div id="tabs-2">
	tab2 content
</div>
<div id="tabs-3">
	tab3 content
</div>
</div>

I can get the tabs, I just can't figure out the content

<?php
//get menu options from database
$menus_sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `tbl_menus`");
if(mysql_num_rows($menus_sql)>0){
echo('<ul>');
while($menus_row=(mysql_fetch_assoc($menus_sql)){
 echo('<li><a href="#tabs-'.$menus_row['id'].'">'.$menus_row['menu_title'].'</a></li>');
}
echo('</ul>');
}
?>

 

Any idea how I can create the content

 

The table has the following layout

 

id

menu_title

menu_content

Where you previously wrote the word content? You'll put the content in there.

 

Rather than echo'ing in your loop, assign the information to various variables you can echo later.

Don't want to sound stupid, how do you mean?

<?php
$menu = '<ul>';
$content = '';

$menus_sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `tbl_menus`");
if(mysql_num_rows($menus_sql)>0){
$menu .= '<ul>';
while($menus_row=(mysql_fetch_assoc($menus_sql)){
        $menu .= '<li><a href="#tabs-'.$menus_row['id'].'">'.$menus_row['menu_title'].'</a></li>';
 $content .= ' <div id="tabs-'.$menus_row['id'].'">'.$menus_row['menu_content'].'</div>';
}
$menu .= '</ul>';
}

echo "<div id="tabs">$menu $content</div>";
?>

 

not tested.
