target = "_parent" Redirection

[Adamthenewbie]

Is it possible to do a redirection using PHP to target = "_parent".

The only way I know how to redirect using pHp is
header("Location: URL");

Is there a way to redirect to parent instead of self

Why do you want to do this?

If you are trying to break out of frames you should use JavaScript.

If you want this to happen when you submit a form you can use <form action="script.php" method="post" target="_parent" />

I am using a lot of JavaScript Redirections on my website. I wanted to try and change them all to PHP Redirections so even if the user doesnt have JavaScript enabled the redirection will still work.

In JavaScript I would do this for the _parent Redirection

<script language = "javascript">
<!--
parent.location.replace("URL")
//-->
</script>

Is there disadvantages to using PHP Header Redirection??
