Frames and php

vigour

I have some links in one frame. And when I click on these links I want to show the result (taken from mysql) in another frame. Can someone please show me a simple example how to do that?

I know what html is, but that was not the question. I want to use it with php.

What do you mean by wanting 'to use it' with PHP?

Do you mean you want to send variables to a php page, from a form, say?

Sorry for not explaining this in a good way, one more try :-)

I have a mysql database. In that database I have a field with names from a to z. On my page I have 2 frames, a top and a main. In the top frame I have links from a to z. And when I click on one of those links I want to query the database and present the result in the main frame. For example, if I click on the link named 'd' I want to query the database for all names beginning with the letter d, and present these in the main frame like this:

Danny
David
Dennis

And so on...

That's my problem.

Ok, you want to send a variable (a-z) via a link in one frame to a frame called 'main'.

From that article ...

<A href="slide2.html" target="dynamic">slide 2.</A>

... want's to be altered to ...

... (or something like it).
