Open a php page in parent window?

[obaluba]

Hi,

I think this is fairly simple although I have been tearing my hair out all day! Basically.. I have a html page which has an iframe on it which loads a php page which contains a form. Once the form is filled out I have this code to return it to another html page. currently the html page is loading in the iframe, I need to find a way to make it load in the parent of the iframe if you like...

The code I have is below for this section...

$ThankYou = $_GET['ThankYou'];
if ($ThankYou != "") {
$message = "Thankyou, you will now be forwarded to the technical section.";

  header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
  header ("Location: http://www.google.com"); 
  }

I tried adding this having found it on another site:
header("target_parent");

but didnt seem to work

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks 🙂

<?php

$ThankYou = $_GET['ThankYou']; 
   if ($ThankYou != "") {
       $message    = "Thankyou, you will now be forwarded to the technical section.";         

  header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
  header ("Location: http://www.google.com"); 
  }

?>

I think
you should replace 'target_parent' with something at your local file system

Can it be done then?

I'm a total novice at PHP, what do you mean off my own file system? locally you mean

I had put the address in here:

header ("Location: http://www.google.com");

i only put google in so it was easily recognisable!

can it be done in php then?

thanks for your reply 🙂
