Force redirect page to an iframe.

[LionKing]

Hello all,

I am trying to force the opening of am html page in an iframe created within my PHP CMS.

The idea is that when a user calls the page mysiteurl/123.html, they will be redirected to a page in my CMS such as mysiteurl/content.php?id=1 but I would also like the "mysiteurl/123.html" to be sent as a post/get parameter so that I can have it as the SRC of the iframe embedded in the mysiteurl/contetn.php?id=1 page.

Thank you. Cheers.

How about this?

<script language="javascript">
window.location = "http://www.mysiteurl.com/content.php?id=1&src=123.html";
</script>

Then the page id is $_GET["id"] and the source for the frame is $_GET["src"]. I think this should work as you want. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using this...
----------
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window == top) {
var url='window.location.replace("http://www.example.net/?var1='+window.location.href+'")';
eval(url);
}
</script>
----------

This gets me redirected to the correct place.

Now I am looking for a way to use the var1= as the iframe source.

The problem I am encountering right now is that I am trying to have this appear in a CMS's content manager, so it can't use $_GET and the html equivalent get(var1) puts in quotes around it all the time automatically.

Still looking.
Cheers.

Along with the code in the previous post.

The previous post shows how to redirect a page when it is't already open in an frame.

The following will then show the previous page in an iframe.

$get_url = $_GET['var1']; 
print "<iframe id=\"myframe\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" style=\"overflow:visible; width:100%; display:none\" src=\"$get_url\"></iframe>";

Very useful when trying to show pages within an existing layout, or inside a CMS.

Cheers.
