use PHP redirect two pages

lorri

I would like to know that it is possible:

A button in button.php is on the left frame of a frame page, when I press this button, the right frame will display 1.html, and the left frame will display 2.html (i.e. button.php changed to 2.html).

I know that header(Location) function can redirect to another page, but how can I write php which redirect two pages in two frames?

Actually, header() will not work in this case, you've got to send headers before any other whitespace or html on your page. You could use the form to redirect to a script that uses headers to open another completely different page...

Or you could just use good ol' meta tags. Instead of having the [man]header()[/man] function, just type:

<head>  

     <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0,http://the/url/you/want/to/refresh/to">
</head>

or, ideally, have two forms posting data to the two different frames... then add onclick="submitforms()" to the button

function submitforms(){
document.form1.submit();
document.form2.submit();
}

-->
</script>

nice and simple :-)

Actually, that doesnt work as is, please change to

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://some.url.here/">

That works. Otherwise you'll get stuck in a continuous loop. Not fun.
