Hi

I have a form on my site that is running in an iFrame called 'content'

When the form is submitted it saves some data into a cookie and then uses header(location) to reload the original home page. (index.php)

The problem is the full site including the iFrame etc are loaded back into 'content' !

Is it possible to use target="self" within header(location) ??
This is what I have so far !!

$host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri   = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');
header("Location: http://$host$uri/index.php");

Any ideas ? Thanks 🙂

    Just in case it helps 🙂
    This is the index.php page:

<li><a href="menu4.php" target="content">Menu 4</a></li>
<li><a href="menu5.php" target="content">Menu 5</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

<div id="content">
<iframe src="home.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" name="content"> - 
</iframe>
</div>

<div id="footer">
<div style="float: right;">
 | <a href="mailto:me@domain.com" title="Contact Me"><img src="images/contact.gif" alt="Contact" /></a> |
</div>

</div>
</body>
</html>

    It's the settings.php page when submitted I want to reload the entire site in the current page, not into the 'content' iframe !

    Thanks 🙂

      you can't with php, you should really drop the use of frames they are depreciated. You can achieve the same effect with ajax.

      looks like your only using a frame to keep the header and footer the same through the site? If so that's a bad idea, use includes instead.

        Thanks for the reply.

        I thought this iframe was being used by the 'content' not the menu, header or footer !

        anyway I've sorted it so it refresh to the correct page.

        Thanks 🙂
