Saving options in a theme options panel, instant "update"

Hey Guys,

I am saving some options into my “theme options panel” if you can call it that but when I add/update let’s say an input box it adds/updates fine but I have to refresh again for the correct value to be shown, how do I instantly show the value/new value?

Learn Ajax I suppose

if( $_REQUEST ) {
extract($_REQUEST);
} else {
// Use what you use now, get_option()
}

Then enter the right variable inside the values of the fields.

@Phoenix, not that fast of an update, just a standard refresh

Here is my code:

Be prepared for extremely rough code, no under 18s!

 <?php echo $eirepanel_general_options = get_option('eirepanel_general_options');
            echo $general_settings_saved = $_REQUEST['general-settings'];
            if(isset($general_settings_saved))
            { 
                header("Location: http://www.google.com"); 
                echo 'Yes it is saved';

            }

            ?>

            <?php // echo 'SET';
                update_option('eirepanel_general_options', $_POST['eirepanel_general_options']);
                header("Location: admin.php?page=eirepane-sidebars#test"); 

            ?>
                <form method="post" action="#general-settings?saved=true">
                    <input name="general-settings" value="true" type="hidden" />
                    Text String <input name="eirepanel_general_options" value="<?php echo $eirepanel_general_options; ?>" type="text" />
                    <input name="submit" value="Save" type="submit" />
                </form>

    <?php }

</pr?>

 <?php $eirepanel_general_options = ( (isset($_REQUEST)) ? $_REQUEST['eirepanel_general_options'] : get_option('eirepanel_general_options') );
 $general_settings_saved = $_REQUEST['general-settings'];
            if(isset($general_settings_saved))
            { 
                header("Location: http://www.google.com"); 
                echo 'Yes it is saved';

            }

            ?>

            <?php // echo 'SET';
                update_option('eirepanel_general_options', $_POST['eirepanel_general_options']);
                header("Location: admin.php?page=eirepane-sidebars#test"); 

            ?>
                <form method="post" action="#general-settings?saved=true">
                    <input name="general-settings" type="hidden" value="true" />
                    Text String <input name="eirepanel_general_options" type="text" value="<?php echo $eirepanel_general_options; ?>" />
                    <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Save" />
                </form>

    <?php }
</pr?>

Perfect!!

You don’t need to echo anything when you define a variable.

 <?php $eirepanel_general_options = ( (isset($_REQUEST)) ? $_REQUEST['eirepanel_general_options'] : get_option('eirepanel_general_options') );
 $general_settings_saved = $_REQUEST['general-settings'];
            if(isset($general_settings_saved))
            { 
                header("Location: http://www.google.com"); 
                echo 'Yes it is saved';

            }

            ?>

            <?php // echo 'SET';
                update_option('eirepanel_general_options', $_POST['eirepanel_general_options']);
                header("Location: admin.php?page=eirepane-sidebars#test"); 

            ?>
                

Text String <?php } </pr?>
