header help

[MDanz]

<?php
  if (isset($_POST['url'])) {
    header("Location: http://" . $_POST['url']);
  }
  
  
?>

 

 

is there a way for me to reverse this?  ...so instead i GET the url?

[Mchl]

Use $_GET ?

[MDanz]

so it will get the url of an external website in another frame?

 

i POST url to the top frame, which is an external website, works.  Shouldn't i be able to GET the url of the top frame?

I don't quite understand what you mean by GET the url. Do you mean put it in a GET variable? retrieve it? Could you explain your problem a little better

i have a bottom frame, where input the url.  the top frame displays the website of the url i put in.

 

 

i want to reverse the process.  so whatever website is in the top frame.  i can retrieve the url.

you can use javascript. it can get the location of the frame like so

url = parent.frameName.location.href;

url = parent.frameName.location.href;

 

thx you a life saver.  can you just help me get this working

 

<script type='text/javascript'>
function urlget(){

  url = parent.link_frame.location.href;
urlarea.value = url;
}
</script>

<a onclick='urlget()'></a>

 

<textarea name="urlarea" id="urlarea"></textarea>

 

where did i go wrong?

[mikesta707]

is the urlarea variable already defined? if not you have to do

document.getElementById('urlarea').value = url;

[MDanz]

still having problems..

 

<script type='text/javascript'>
function urlget(){

   var url = parent.link_frame.location.href;
  document.getElementById('urlarea').value = url;
}
</script>

 

<textarea name="urlarea" id="urlarea"></textarea>

 

<a onclick='urlget()'></a>

 

i don't see why it isn't working?

[mikesta707]

oh my bad didnt see it was a text area. instead of .value do .innerHTML

[MDanz]

not working...

 

<script type='text/javascript'>
function urlget(){

   var url = parent.link_frame.location.href;
  document.getElementById('urlarea').innerHTML = url;
}
</script>

<textarea name="urlarea" id="urlarea"></textarea>

<a onclick='urlget()'></a>
