Meta and php

Anon

hello all,

My little problem is this. I am trying to allow a user to log out and send them to a new page.  Ok fine. Im using a meta tag and have a timer of 3

ie.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;
url=http://www.msn.com ">

The problem is that I am in frames and need to get them out! Can this be done in php?
Im sure it can in Java Script but im kinda limited in that so if anyone has a alternative to a php fix that would be fine.

Thanks

Pete

Im not quite sure of that but I think u can specify the [target] paramter in the meta tag.. try this out...

Anon

Oliwier,

Thanks for the response.  I have tried the target inside the meta tag and it seems to be ignored.  I have some java script but there is no timer on it.  Hummmmm

There must be a somewhat simple way

What is your method of logging out visitors. This would most likely be where you would be able to escape from frames(yuk!).

Hey,
I have a template with include()'s presention the pages. The reason for the frames is im hiding the url for appearance. Im passing the page for display in the url and calling in the include. So when they log out they are simply clicking a button and im resetting the cookies from the template page. I suppose i could sent them out of frames with the link to log out but that is defeating the purpose kinda... But if that is the only answer for now🙁

There must be a better way
ahhhhhhhhhhh

thanks

I log people out of my admin section of my site with the following code: (My admin interface uses frames and session cookies for logon. I am somewhat sloppy with my cookie use, but it worked very well with ASP, and since I am porting it over I have just ported my current system. Also, have VERY limited needs for security on the pages I do secure with this method.)

Click on the link: "logout". Ex:
<a href="logout.php" target="_parent">Logout</a>

---file---
<?php
//reset cookies
setcookie("cookiename[priv]");
setcookie("cookiename[user]");
//relocate
header("Location:index.php");
?>
---end---

As usual be very careful with whitespace, since the header is very picky. Replace index.php with whatever site you wish them to go to.
