Re: Anyone know how this would be done?

My original answer is the only one that I can think of that would work. Use a header redirect to a page that only has a javascript on it that will take variables you send through the header direct and then reloads the page into the entire window instead of just the frame.. you have to use javascript though since as Leif pointed out PHP is a server side language, not a client side.. so use javascript in those cases, BUT you can use PHP to give javascript the certain variables it needs. It's not a hard answer and yes it doesn¹t have much to do with PHP, barely anything, but when you know the answer you know that.. My guess is that he's new and he thinks that you could put something in the php header call to tell it to use the entire page instead of just the frame. Maybe I just have more time on my hands to answer easy questions like that and to give him some direction in his searches for answers.. searching for "php break frames header" isnt going to give you any type of answer that you can use. Only knowledge of the PHP language and what Server side and client side scripting can do, can help answer that question. When the path to your answer is not apparent and you have idea where to start.. a little push in the right direction can make all the difference.. My soapbox for the day! :) Cheers Rick "Don't be one of those souls who says, 'If only I had my life to live over.'
