only one Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 is there a way to pass variables through n iframe? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/51532-solved-passing-variables-through-an-iframe/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenfire89 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 As far as I know, an iframe is a seperate page. The only way I personally can think of doing this is to use a $_POST. Just have the parent frame send a POST variable to the child frame. It won't happen in realtime (meaning you will have to have the child iframe refresh), but it will work.

cmgmyr Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 you could probably use a session too...but the way you just listed would be the easiest Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/51532-solved-passing-variables-through-an-iframe/#findComment-253816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
taith Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 yup... iframes are completly seperate from the originating page... only 4 ways of passing info from one page to another... $_POST... if you create a form, with a target of that frame... $_GET... where you ?var=$var;... $_SESSION... and cookies...
