Php and 2 frames (simple question)

[vasukulkarni]

Hello All,

Here comes the perfect newbie in the world of php ..
I have made 2 frames ( left and right ) successfully.

What i want is a php code on the left frame such that whenever a user clicks a text on the left frame. It loads me appropriate page on the right frame.

---

| Left frame | Right Frame |

---

| My Info | |
| | |
| My Pic | |
==========================================

For example if i click the text "My Pic" on left frame , some file say mypic.htm should appear on the right frame. (USING PHP)

Php manual was not helpful for me and also forum search was not helpful.

Any Help or Link or Document is really Appreciated.

Regards,
--Vasu.

You don't need PHP to do it, it is just pure HTML.

1) Give your frames a name.

<FRAME NAME='left' SRC='menu.html'>
<FRAME NAME='right' SRC='default.html'>

2) Give your anchors/hyperlinks a target

<A HREF='mypic.html' TARGET='right'>Show MyPic in right frame</A>

You can, of course, link to a PHP page:

<A HREF='process_pictures.php?pic_id=1' TARGET='right'>Load Pic 1</A>

You can also replace 'menu.html' with 'menu.php' which could setup the links according to a database.

EDIT: Put code inside (PHP)(/PHP) tags

if you wrap your pre formatted spacing in
[ code ] [ /code ] blocks it will retain all you spacing so people can see it better
