How do I get php to target a page using frames

chelsea7

Hello,

I have a simple question. How do I target a page in a frame in PHP. Can this be done?

I know the syntax for passing varibles in PHP is as stated below;

header('location:menusm.php?userID='.$userID);

I need the PHP syntax for the html code listed below;

<p align="center">[<a href="index2.htm" target="_top">Return to Home</a>]</p>

Any assistance would be appreciated.
thanks. Also what is the other way I could pass varibles instead of using 'header(location:'?

Well there are tons of different ways to pass variables vetween pages, the best way would really depend on the application.

Can you give an example of what you're trying to do?

You can pass them through the URL to the page you want to get to, even through frames.

Example:

You want the user to browse a section in a different frame on your page:

Assuming your frame name where it gets loaded to is called "content".

The variable s is populated with the value "flowers" and is sent to the receiving page. It would be the same as if you had declared
$s=flowers -
Now, with your receiving page, you can do something like:

switch ($s) {
case default:
echo "
Your normal HTML here";
break;

case "flowers":
include ('flowers.php');
break;
}
