Form breaking out of frames

[plugnz]

Hi there,

I am having problems with an HTML form in a php script that is inside a frame. When the form is posted I want it to open within the frame but it always opens a new window.

here is the form script:

echo $name;
echo "<form method=post action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].">\n";
echo "<select name=source>\n";
foreach($array as $key=>$val){
	$sel = ($val == $source)? " SELECTED " : "";
	echo "<option $sel value=$val>$key\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";
echo "<input type=submit name=go value=Go>\n";
echo "</form>\n";

It is for an RSS feed.

Thanks in advance.

Try using the value '_self' in the target attribute of the form ...

echo "<form method=post action=".$SERVER['PHP_SELF']." target="self">\n";

make sure you give the frame a name

<frame name="bleh">

and add target="bleh" to the form tag

<form action="POST" target="bleh">

Im pretty sure you can just do that

do what he said, its a better solution than mine 😛

Thanks for your help guys. tried these but they just blow the whole page and theres nothing in the frame but white background. Is there something
i could substitute for action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']." maybe?

thanks again
