variables across all frames of a site?

[Anon]

Hi,

I am building a site at the moment using frames and noticed that variables that are available to code in one frame, arent available to code in another frame. How it is possible to get around this problem?

ie, I have a variable sent to the frames index page called $id, and i use this for database references, however with this current problem, I am going to have to do the database access in each frame in order to use the variables, rather than being able to do it in one frame and then having the other frames already know the variable.

Help!? =)

Thanks,
Jamie Hill

In your frame index page (which needs to be a php file) you can do this....

<frameset>

<frame name="top" src="top.php" >
<frame name="main" src="main.php?id=<?print $id;?>">

</frameset>

This will pass the variable via get to the main.php script.

Hi,

another way is to store your vars in a session.
And pass the sessionid via cookie or get
