How would I make an iframe type of link

VinceGledhill · September 10, 2011

Hi People.

I am doing quite well with my www.airfieldcards.com website which is information for pilots in the UK and ireland should they wish to visit another airfield.

It is in the form of a flight guide for free.

Each card is held in a database and the cards are shown on the site by loading the following script

/php/results.php?id=132

In the above example the card for c-moor in Ireland would be loaded.

I want to be able to add a link within the cards that will give the user "the code" to enter that card within their own website.

Sort of a "click here to get the code to add to your website"

Then opening a separate box in a new window that had something like this in it.

Copy and Paste the following code into your website

<iframe width="720" height="1500" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://airfieldcards.com/php/results.php[b][i]"what goes here?"[/i][/b]

What would I put into the bit "what goes here?" to dynamically load that specific card? and give the user the correct code to add into their own site?

Thanks in advance, you guys on here have always been brilliant.

Well done nice web site, you got nice space there on home page and disclaimer to earn some revenue.

Well that depends on what you want your iframe to look like. You will probably want to create a page (perhaps iframe.php) that generates your iframe card for other sites in PHP (the code will basically be the same as results.php, including the part that uses teh $_GET variable) and use that as the src of the iframe. An example URL for the iframe src would be mysite.com/iframe.php?id=112. obviously you would replace mysite.com with your sites url.

Here is the results card, obviously I've changed all of the $usr $password $db_name for posting on here.

<?php
$host = 'localhost';

$usr = "theuser_name";

$password = 'thepassword';

$db_name = 'database_name';

function cr($string){
          $clean_string = str_replace("rn","<BR>",$string);
         return $clean_string;
}

//$id = 11;
// Here's hoping that this works at the right width.  Don't know why it is showing the 
// printable card menu at the right width but not the height above etc

if (!isset($id)) $id = $_GET['id'];

mysql_connect ("$host","$usr","$password") or die ('Error During Connect:<br>'.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("$db_name") or die ('Error Selecting DB:<br>'.mysql_error());

$read_query  = "select * from users where user_id = '$id'";
$results = mysql_query($read_query);

$rs = mysql_fetch_array($results);

looking at that you should be able to just call an object that points to that php page:

<object 
type="text/html" 
data="http://domain/page.php?id=xxx
width="xxx"
height="xxx"
>
<param name="flight_card" value="http://domain/page.php?id=xx>
alt text
</object>[code]

Thanks for that Muddy_Funster.

How do I dynamically load the value="http://domain/page.php?id=xx> from the card that the user is looking at?

I want to be able to put a link in the card that states [click this link to get the code to add this card to your site] or similar.

Muddy_Funster · September 12, 2011

easiest way would be to populate the obgect on the same page, but you can create it using the GET or POST variables to populate it from the php, same as populating the card localy:

<object 
type="text/html" 
data="http://domain/page.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>"
width="xxx"
height="xxx"
>
<param name="flight_card" value="http://domain/page.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>">
alt text
</object>[code]
