[wp-hackers] Top level menus with different submenu titles

[Ryan Scheuermann]

I've done this without removing it later.   You just have to create the 
submenu item first, and then add the top level menu right after it using 
the same filename and function combination.  This will even keep the 
first submenu highlighted when you click on the top level menu.

add_submenu_page("myfile.php",'First Submenu','First 
Submenu',"do_stuff", "myfile.php", 'first_sub_page' );   

add_menu_page('Menu Tests', 'Menu Tests',"do_stuff","myfile.php", 
'first_sub_page');

add_submenu_page("myfile.php",'Second Submenu','Second 
Submenu',"do_stuff",'new_page_name', 'second_sub_page');

My example assumes you're using functions in 1 file for each page, of 
course.  There is some quirky reason why this works and I remember 
really investigating the code for the reason, but I can't remember it at 
this moment.  This was a few months ago...

Hope that helps.  :-)
