Question

i have recently started coding in PHP and im wondering how i can show a div defined in the adress bar (example: http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?divtoshow=home)

The div is hidden with css, display:none;

then i want it to display the home div

i have tried using jquery, but i cant seem to get the variable to be implamented into the script

I already have the following for when i click the home icon:

$(".chome").click(function(){
    $("#home").show(500);
    });

Answer 1

First, get the name from the query string:

<?php $divtoshow = $_GET["divtoshow"]; ?>

Second, add some JQuery to display the div on page load:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("div[id=<?php echo $divtoshow; ?>]").show();
    });
</script>
