Pass form results url in external page

[aragorn21]

I have used this code:

$url = $_REQUEST['url'];
<iframe src="$url"></iframe>

to build a simple output.php file that shows in its iframe the url i type in the address bar:

www.mysite.com/output.php?url=http://www.google.com for example.

Now I want to use a search form that is not on my server, to output its results in the above or similar iframe. For example the search form produces a result url like so:

http://www.domain.com/searchresults.html?fmt=http://www.domain.com/index.php?variable1=value&variable2=value2

etc. I need to place in the search form a "&target=SOMETHING" so I can use that after to direct the results inside my iframe, by passing the above results URL to my www.mysite.com/output.php?url=HERE

Any ideas?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, aragorn21.

Are you trying to do this in the client browser? If so, you can use an asynchronous call (AJAX) to retrieve the request and populate the frame. If it is a server-side process you can use the PHP file_get_contents() function or perhaps the cURL functions if you need to use something a little more advanced.
