Read Variables from Adressbar?

Anon

Hello,

I got a frameset which comes when my
domain is connected. In one of the frames
I need to use a variable wich is at the
frameset.

Example:
http://www.myDomainWithFrameset.com?varIneed=foo

<frame> a naviframe </frame>
<frame>
my main-frame where i need the var after
my domain ($varIneed).
</frame>

Hope you understand whats my problem.

Tahnks,
alan

index.php?var=foo

index.php:
<framset>
<frame src='page.php?var=$var'>

Hey Alan,
basically what you need to do is read that variable off in the page that does the frame controls and then add it to the url for the actual pages loaded in each frame. This will set you up initially. Then after that you can use javascript to drive the variables around in each frame.

You probably want to do something like this in the page you have your frameset defined in:

<frameset rows="50,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="no">
<frame src="controlbar.php?fileName=<?=$GET['fileName']?>" SCROLLING="NO" NAME="control_frame"">
<frame src="report.php?fileName=<?=$GET['fileName']?>" NAME="data_frame">

note if you are using php<4.1 you probably want $HTTP_GET_VARS instead of $_GET but hey. =)

Hope this helps!

Thanks guys,

but sorry. I forgot to say that
the frameset isn't on my server.
So I can't use the "read from frameset
-> give to frame" method.

I realy need to do it in my frame
file.

it doesn't matter what server its on... do you see how it works??? there is no variable passing between servers, it is just text manipulation. if you are saying there is no scripting language on the server with the frameset, then you are fucked. DONT USE FRAMES.

your only real hope as I see it is to look for this variable:

$HTTP_REFERER
The address of the page (if any) which referred the browser
to the current page. This is set by the user's browser; not
all browsers will set this.
found at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php

and grab the variables from that one. In theory this should contain the variables you need.

good luck,
nate
