TabStrip PHP Class Overview

The Kendo UI TabStrip for PHP is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI TabStrip widget.

Getting Started

Configuration

Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI TabStrip for PHP.

Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for PHP—include the autoloader, JavaScript, and CSS files.

Step 2 Create a TabStrip and set its items.

    <?php
    $tabstrip = new \Kendo\UI\TabStrip('tabstrip');

    $item1 = new \Kendo\UI\TabStripItem();

    $item1->text("Item 1")
            ->startContent();
    ?>

        First Item Static Content

    <?php
    $item1->endContent();

    $item2 = new \Kendo\UI\TabStripItem();

    $item2->text("Item 2")
            ->startContent();
    ?>
        Second Item Static Content
    <?php
    $item2->endContent();

    $tabstrip.addItem($item1, $item2);
    ?>

Step 3 Output the TabStrip by echoing the result of the render method.

    <?php
    echo $tabstrip->render();
    ?>

Event Handling

You can subscribe to all TabStrip events.

Specify Function Names

The example below demonstrates how to subscribe for events by specifying a JavaScript function name.

    <?php
    $tabstrip = new \Kendo\UI\TabStrip('tabstrip');

    // The 'tabstrip_select' JavaScript function will handle the 'tabstrip_select' event of the tabstrip
    $tabstrip->select('tabstrip_select');

    echo $tabstrip->render();
    ?>
    <script>
    function tabstrip_select() {
        // Handle the select event
    }
    </script>

Provide Inline Code

The example below demonstrates how to subscribe to events by providing inline JavaScript code.

    <?php
    $tabstrip = new \Kendo\UI\TabStrip('tabstrip');

    // Provide inline JavaScript code that will handle the 'select' event of the tabstrip
    $tabstrip->select('function() { /* Handle the select event */ }');

    echo $tabstrip->render();
    ?>

Reference

Client-Side Instances

You are able to reference an existing TabStrip instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, use the TabStrip API to control its behavior.

    <?php
    $tabstrip = new \Kendo\UI\TabStrip('tabstrip');
    echo $tabstrip->render();
    ?>
    <script>
    $(function() {
        // The constructor parameter is used as the 'id' HTML attribute of the tabstrip
        var tabstrip = $("#tabstrip").data("kendoTabStrip");
    });
    </script>
