Variables through HTML frames into PHP

Anon

Hi all...
I am new to PHP, and could use a little help. To keep the explanation simple - lets say I have two seperate sites, Site_A and Site_B. Site_B is a simple refresh to Site_A/?id=Site_B, I can therefore tell that the visitor to Site_A originally came from Site_B. The problem is that the index.htm page on Site_A has two frames, one of which is to Page_A.php - it is this Page_A where I need to use the id variable. If I create and pass it directly inside the Page_A.php link, it is all OK - the problem is getting it picked up by the idex page and properly incorporated into the frame URL. I have used :

from Site_B and in the index.htm page of Site_A, the frame link is:

<frame src="Pages/header.php?id=<?echo $id;?>" name="Header" scrolling="NO" noresize>

which is not being picked up by header.php - any ideas? Sorry that is all a little confusing!
Thanks...

Site_A's index.htm should be index.php, otherwise the server won't know that it contains PHP code.

Just for t/shooting purposes, why dont you make a temporary index.html with:

or:

<?php

print("<frame src='Pages/header.php?id=$id' name='Header' scrolling='NO' noresize>\n");

Oh yeah..... the .php keys apache to look for the <? and ?>...

Diego Huang, Ryan - thankyou both! I think this serves as final, unequivocable proof that I am going loopy. I tried this yesterday and could not get it to work, I just realised thanks to you two that I had not used the .php extension on the index page! Doh!
Thanks a million...
