a problem about forms and frames

ygiran

hello...
I have got a problem about frames. my page has got 3 frames. right, left and center.
1- at the center side there is a form (method=post action=main.php which is prepare for frame location).
2- at main.php I get the variables and their values. Then all the frames reload and my problem begins. at left.php I want to get the values, but I cant.
3- center.php is changeable. So not always the same variables came to main.php .
4- And also I use REQUEST_URI in the main.php but it doesnt solve my problem because of the method of the form.
5- wish i explain my problem clearly....

is there a javascript code for this problem?

thanks a lot.

To get the values to other frames either:

a) STORE the values in a temp file --> will cause lots of problems, so don't do this

b) use sessions and simply REGISTER all the variables with the session, they will persist in all your files then, if called for correctly...

and just a piece of advice for the future: FRAMES ARE EVIL, don't use frames, they just make things more complicated and carry no advantages to the user.

i agree with your opinion about frames. it carries so many problems with it. but i must use it. i have no chance... 🙂
at the end of my patience; I use $HTTP_POST_VARS and i get the variables and values.

thanks for your reply.
