Example here. If you select one of the accordion headers then refresh the page the last accordian panel you clicked is opened by default

I see this as a pure client responsibility. I would store the information in a cookie plugin here which you can read and pass to the accordion constructor.
I would prefer this over passing values to and from the server for no real benefit.

Something along these lines

//get persisted active accoridan index
var activeIndex  = $.cookie('accordianActiveIndex');

//guard code here to check you have a valid activeIndex...

$('.selector').accordion({
       active: activeIndex,
       change: function(event, ui) { 
           //set cookie here to new active header (index)
           $.cookie('accordianActiveIndex', ui.newHeader.prevAll().length)
      }
});
