How can I redirect back with query string?

Question

I have a form that includes tabs of different data. The tabs are activated by query string. After saving the content of the form that was submitted, I need to redirect back to it to show the corresponding tab using the query data. How can that be done?

currently I am using this for redirection:

return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validation);

but this returns to the first tab even there were no changes made on that tab. I saw something like

return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validation)->withQuery('tab'=>'info');

but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

If you're using Redirect::to() then is simple.

return Redirect::to('route_name?q='.$append_data)

If you want to use Redirect::back() then do these following

# Pass the value while redirecting
return Redirect::back()->with('query_data', 'some_data');

And add condition to your blade file.

@if(!empty(Session::get('query_data')) && Session::get('query_data') == 'some_data')
<script>
$(function() {
    //Change the tab using javascript or
    //use location.href to refresh after appending query params to url.
});
</script>
@endif
