I have my main layout page(index.php), i also have a templated page (logsgui.php)with an <IFRAME> that I need to open in a new window with, to display a page (logfile001.php-logfile999.php) with information inside of.

in other words....

on index.php, there are 999 differen't links. when a user clicks on any one of those links, it opens a new browser window displaying logsgui.php (the "GUI" template), with the corrisponding logfile.php page in the IFRAME.

I have a general idea of how to do this... i've tried a few things, but it doesn't load the logfile.php, if shows the page not found error.

did i confuse anyone? or is that understandable.....😕

how do i pass information like that between browser windows?

Rather easy to do!

<?php
// this is index.php with list of all logfiles
?>
Please click your logfile to read.<br>
Thank you<br><br>
<a href="showlog.php?open=logfile001.php">logfile 001</a><br>
<a href="showlog.php?open=logfile002.php">logfile 002</a><br>
<a href="showlog.php?open=logfile003.php">logfile 003</a><br>
<a href="showlog.php?open=logfile004.php">logfile 004</a><br>
<a href="showlog.php?open=logfile005.php">logfile 005</a><br>
<a href="showlog.php?open=logfile006.php">logfile 006</a><br>
<!-- and so on until last logfile999.php -->
<a href="showlog.php?open=logfile999.php">logfile 999</a><br>

<?php
// this is showlog.php

// put this logfile 'logfileXXX.php' into variable '$logcontents'
$file = $_GET[ 'open' ];
$logcontents = file_get_contents( $file );

?>
// display
<a href="index.php">Back to index</a><br><br>
<?php
echo $logcontents;

?>

Neednt be more complicated than this.
A piece of cake

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Notice one thing more about
file_get_contents() function, http://php.net/file_get_contents

It will work with links, too.!!!
URL = http://www.google.com/

<?php

// different ways to get stuff, from your folders or WebSites
$stuff1 = file_get_contents( "./archive/arkiv01.txt" );
$stuff2 = file_get_contents( "http://www.google.com/index.html" );

// display ////////////////////////////////////////
echo "arkiv01.txt<br>
$stuff1
<br><br>";
echo "Google index.html<br>
$stuff2
<br><br>";

?>

Not bad, for a PHP function!!!

🆒

could i use $logcontents like this...

<?php
echo "<iframe src="$logcontents" yadayada></iframe>";
?>

<?php
echo "<iframe src="$logcontents" yadayada></iframe>";

<?php
echo "<iframe src=\"$logcontents\" yadayada></iframe>";

// or
echo '<iframe src=' . $logcontents . ' yadayada></iframe>';
// or
echo "<iframe src='" . $logcontents . "' yadayada></iframe>";
// or
echo "<iframe src='$logcontents' yadayada></iframe>";
?>

Some 😃 of these variations may work, should work
The first one, your one, needs to escape double quote:
" , should be: \"

evulness

well, most of it works....

none of your suggestions for the <iframe> tag are working though...

The requested URL /logs/\"$logcontents"\ was not found on this server.

here are my links...

<a href="logs/logs2.php?open=dullenrammel.php" target="_new">Dullen -vs- Rammel -vs- Glyptar</a><br>

and here is the display page

<?php
$file = $_GET[ 'open' ];
$logcontents = file_get_contents( $file );
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled-1</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=#a2a2a2 text="#272727" LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>

<TABLE WIDTH=600 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>

this is the result when I visit your page:

<TD WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=407 ALT="">
<iframe src=\"$logcontents"\ name="logfile" border="0" frameborder="0"
noresize scrolling="auto" width="550" height="407"></iframe></TD>

this might help:

<?php

// model 1
echo "<iframe src='$logcontents' name='logfile' border='0' frameborder='0' noresize scrolling='auto' width='550' 
height='407'></iframe>";

// model 2
echo "<iframe src=' . $logcontents . ' name='logfile' border='0' frameborder='0' noresize scrolling='auto' width='550' 
height='407'></iframe>";

// maybe with curly brackets around $logcontents
echo "<iframe src='{$logcontents}' name='logfile' border='0' frameborder='0' noresize scrolling='auto' width='550' 
height='407'></iframe>";

// or like this
$todisplay = "<iframe src='"  . $logcontents .  "' name='logfile' border='0' frameborder='0' 
noresize scrolling='auto' width='550' height='407'></iframe>";
echo $todisplay;

?>

hope it works in some way
if not
there are 2-4 other ways to do this !!!!
