I’m using wordpress for a project and I have notice an unusual condition paradox.

<li class="<?php echo (isset($_REQUEST['search']) && $_REQUEST['search']!='opportunities')? 'active':''; ?>"><a href="#tabs-1" >People</a></li>
<li class="<?php echo (isset($_REQUEST['search']) && $_REQUEST['search']=='opportunities')? 'active':''; ?>"><a href="#tabs-2">Opportunities</a></li>

so when I submit a form, i’m getting the following.

$_POST['search'] =>'opportunities'

this is illogical for me to figure it out, just wondering if someone has come across this, and might help.

UPDATE: sorry my bad…

this is what I get back

<li class="active"><a href="#tabs-1" >People</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="#tabs-2">Opportunities</a></li>

This is the paradox, how can they both have active classes??

I have used $_POST as well instead of $_REQUEST just for the record.

Update 2

After some more testing, and head banging moments later…

this paradox only happens when the $_POST['search']='opportunities'

    This is just me being stupid, and my browser being toooooo fast that it seems,

    problem was on a jquery script that automatically makes the first tab active, hence why they are both active…and that was not done by me which explains it all…

    $('.tabs li').eq(0).addClass('active');

    thank you guys, sometimes simple things, like this, make you wanna scream 🙂
