First of all, by "tab" do you mean a menu that looks like file folder tabs or something a little fancier? If the former, that's easy. 

How about this?


.active {
	background: red;
}

<?

$home_tab = "";
$aboutus_tab = "";

switch ($_GET['section'])
{
	case 'home':
		$home_tab = " class=\"active\"";
		break;
	case 'aboutus':
		$aboutus_tab = " class=\"active\"";
		break;
}

echo "<span".$home_tab.">"
	."<a href=\"index.php?section=home\">HOME</a>"
	."</span>";
echo "<span".$aboutus_tab.">"
	."<a href=\"index.php?section=aboutus\">ABOUT US</a>"
	."</span>";

?>

That should do it.



Chris.
