[Resolved] IFRAME problem PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Sebultura

Hi all, I'm new here, and I've got a problem: I have 2 files that are called "interface.htm" & "content.htm".

In "interface.htm", I have 1 PHP tag that is "<?=$menu?>". This variable is initialised correctly from a PHP file, but I've got a "<IFRAME src="content.htm?PHPSESSID=<?=session_id()?>"></IFRAME>'.

Then, in "content.htm", I've got
"<HTML><BODY><?=$content?></BODY></HTML>".

Here's the problem: when I launch a PHP page that initialise CORRECTLY (I'm sure of that) the $menu and $content variables, the HTML page that's displayed shows the proper value of $menu, but the frame that contains $content is displayed as is, that's to say that the client sees "<HTML><BODY><?=$content?></BODY></HTML>" if he looks the source.

So: the content is not displayed and the frame isn't parsed by PHP.

My questions are: Do you know why it's not parsed ? Can you explain me why it doesn't work ? And what sould I do to make it work?

Note: I've got this architecture for 2 reasons:
1) I tried with simple frames (FRAMESET & FRAME tags), but it can't display my interface correctly, because of blank spaces between the frames (even if I try to fix the space to 0!)
2) I need a scrolling for the content of tha page ONLY, because I want the menu to stay fixed on the screen.

So please, I really need help !!! 🙂

Oh! I forgot to precise that $menu and $content are session variables...

In "interface.htm", I have 1 PHP tag that is "<?=$menu?>". This

are wrong

use "interface.php" php.exe only can not parse .html file

Okay, I've fixed the problems:

1) The $content variable was a simple variable and not a session variable as I said, so I changed this

2) Thanks xuguoxin, because I allready tested the ".php" extension, but only on the "content.htm" file, not on "interface.htm" one. But what you must know is that php can parse any extension: it just need <? ?> tags to work. BUT: this can only work on ONE page at a time (not 2 like my example) (==> the $menu variable worked without probems).

So: All work now, I'm happy ! Thanks again ! :p
