You have to echo or print it out to the browser. Since PHP is not HTML they do not work right together without the echo tag or being outside of PHP.

 

 

Also bright pink font is just annoying.

can u give example? because im new to php.... im sorry...

[premiso]

<frameset> <!-- this is not in php -->

<?php
echo '</frameset>'; // this is php
?>

 

But why would you need php to make a frameset? That is basic HTML and should not require php at all....?

because im trying to make a chat... our professor said we should use the frameset. this is giving me headache......

 

that's why im asking for some help!

Look up how to properly use framesets via HTML first. Once you can create a static page with framesets then look into the dynamic part.

 

The actual frameset page can be html, the pages linked inside the frameset, however, would need to be .php.

 

But since this is a school project and you will not learn by me doing it for you. Research basic html framesets.

If you have code, post the code. I am willing to help you if you actually tried first. Just dont expect me to write everything for you.

here's my code for my frameset

 

<frameset rows="25%,*">

<frame src="message.php">

</frameset>

 

is that correct?

Not quite.

<frameset cols="25%,*">
   <frame src="navigation.php">
   <frame src="message.php">
</frameset>

 

That would probably work, given that you have a navigation.php and message.php and your php server is running.

You code the DB stuff in message.php  That is a page on it's own and it works independently of the frameset page.

[kenmay09]

<? $conn=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

mysql_select_db("$chatScript");

?>

 

that's my code if i will connect it to the database

[gevans]

<? $conn=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

mysql_select_db("$chatScript");

?>

 

that's my code if i will connect it to the database

 

You might want to expand that a bit for error testing;

 

<?php

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// make foo the current db
$db_selected = mysql_select_db('foo', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
    die ('Can\'t use foo : ' . mysql_error());
}
?>
