Right now I only have 1 php file, which is outputing all of the html. Is there a way I can have that 1 php file output the frame source page, along with the links, header, and target page? As I said, I could have the php file output the html to the actual files, but is there a way I have have all this in 1 php file? That's what I'm asking I guess....
Oh yeah sure. That's easy. (mind you, i haven't written a proper frameset in a long time so my tags might be wrong.) <?php echo <<<QQQ <frameset> <frame name="header" ... /> <frame name="nav" ... /> <frame name="content" ... /> </frameset> QQQ; ?> You say you want the 'content' frame to load different pages right? Well then you'll have to pass a value to the frameset page to determine which page should be loaded. http://www.yourdomain.com/frameset.php?content=products.pdf <?php // Remember to always validate input and // not blindly display any page like I am // doing here in my example. $content_page = $_GET['content']; echo <<<QQQ <frameset> <frame name="header" ... /> <frame name="nav" ... /> <frame name="content" src="$content_page" ... /> </frameset> QQQ; ?> Does this help? Chris.
What about the links? what do I assign the frame src of the links to if the php file is generating the output? right now the php file is generating the links, I want to turn that into frames, but all in one php file. So if I put the frame src before the html output that I have now, how can I output the links in the same php file? and the header? I get what you said about the target frame, but not sure how I'm going to get the output into the right frames. It's been a long day, maybe I'm just not seeing this right?
