Hey everyone,

Sorry if I have a hard time explaining this. The index page of the site I'm building has a navigation section at the top 2 iframes in the middle (left and right) and a footer at the bottom. Currently the navigation links target a specified file in one or both of the iframes.

What I would like to accomplish is to be able to have the ability to have a link from anywhere (myspace, email, etc...) that will load the index page and the iframes would load the pages that I want loaded.

So I believe I would need some sort of "if else" statement so that I could use both the navigation links (which I believe would be using POST?) and the address bar in the browser would be able to point to a page I specify in an external link (using GET method).

Here is an example:

If the address bar had this info:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?left...ight=right.php

The left iframe would load "left.php" and the right iframe would load "right.php."

Does this make sense?

Hello,
let me see...

PHP Code:

<?php

  $lframe = $_GET['left']; // (left iframe).

  $rframe = $_GET['right']; // (right iframe).

  echo "<iframe src=\"$lframe\" class=\"left_style\"/><br/>\r\n";

  echo "<iframe src=\"$rframe\" style=\"right_style\"/><br/>\r\n";

?>

Hey thanks for your help! Although I ended up changing your script to work how I needed it, you got me going in the right direction.

Here is what I did to make it work:

PHP Code:

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<?php 
if ( (isset($_GET['left'])) ) { 
    $lframe = $_GET['left'];
}

else {

    $lframe = "left.php";
    }
    
if ( (isset($_GET['right'])) ) { 
    $rframe = $_GET['right'];
}

else {

    $rframe = "home.php";
    }

 /* $lframe = $_GET['left']; // (left iframe). 
  $rframe = $_GET['right']; // (right iframe). */
?>
<iframe name="left" src=<?php echo "\"$lframe\""; ?> frameborder="0" width="270" height="400" scrolling="no"></iframe></td>
<td width="15" background="../images/dots_vert.gif"></td>
<td><iframe name="right" src=<?php echo "\"$rframe\""; ?> frameborder="0" width="390" height="400" scrolling="auto"></iframe></td>
</tr>
</table>

Hello,
good job with the code. I am happy it worked for you, and ofcourse I am glad I could help.
Plus, I like how you programmed "safely", meaning, that you check to see if the variables are set, etc.
If you want any further help, like making a form to post the information for it, just mention it below.


Shaffer.

just a code tip instead of having:

src=<?php echo "\"$rframe\""; ?>

change it to:

src="<?=$rframe?>"

Hello,
I was acually going to say that, but I think that not all servers allow it.
