passing variables between frames?

muratisik

Hello,
I am new to php and I am created a simple page using buttons, radio boxes and text boxes. When I press any of them or write into any box and press the related button, the page refreshed to display what I wanted it to do. So far so good...

Now I am trying to split this simple page into frames, two frames basically. On the smaller one to the left, there will be the same buttons and whenever these bottuns are pressed just like the single page one, the right hand side frame will refresh doing what it had done before. The entire page will not refresh though.

I have seperated the buttons/text boxes section from the page printing lines using FRAME and FRAMESET from html. However I dont have any idea about how to pass the variables from one php frame to the other frame so that the target gets refreshed with new variable values. Can this be done by php?If yes, how? Any examples?

Thanks in advance...

Have a nice day

Actually you dont need PHP to do that. Its basic HTML..

In your FORM-tag just put target="Framename"

example:
<form name="form1" action="page.php" method="post" target="framename">

Thank you🙂
What I had in mind was to do this for simple php functions and then use what I have learn in converting this example into a framed one:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc35/phpmapscript-byexample-howto.html#letszoom

It is about web mapping, which attracts my attention these days and as you can see it has some fuctions about zoom and pan. I was planning on carrying these buttons and text box to a frame on the left (or right) so that every time I zomm/pan only the map picture frame gets refreshed according to the variables I provide in the bottuns frames....
Any ideas?
