spiceydog Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 So i have a page with two iframes on it. One of the iframes has a query on it and get data (we will say the get data equals 5). The query counts all of the lines on one table and then compares it to the get data using an if statement (if($count > $getdata)). If the if statement returns i want it to tell the other iframe to refresh. How could i do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 php is parsed on the server and then the results are sent to the client. You can't have php tell the iframe to refresh. You would need to do that clientside with javascript or mixing javascript with php (ajax). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiceydog Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 so how would i go about doing that? i really dont want to use ajax but i would do javascript if necessary. and i know that ajax is just javascript and php but i'd prefer not to use ajax.

jaxdevil Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Simple. Give an if statement and do a body onload, like this: <? if($number >= 5)) { ?> <body onload="parent.framename.location.href='http://<?=$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]?>/page.php'"> <? } ?> Make the $number variable the count you are doings result, and in the onload statement change the 'framename' to whatever the name of the iframe is. Make the page.php the page that is loading in the iframe, that will essentially 'reload' the page if the event you want to trigger it occurs. Does that help you?
