Passing Variable through Iframes?

[spires]

Hi,

 

Can anyone please help,

I'm trying to pass PHP variables from on Iframe window into

another Iframes window.

 

Does anyone know how this is done?

 

here is the demo page:

http://www.telegraphlondon.co.uk/list_upload.php

 

under 'PREVIEW' there are two Iframes.

1 to the left and 1 to the right.

 

the 'read more' button in the left frame should pass

a ID variable to the right Iframe and allowing it to

display the full description.

 

 

HERE IS MY CODE:

 

MAIN PAGE

<table  cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="385" class="TLRB_border"> 
<tr>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" colspan="2">
<span class="box_title">PREVIEW</span>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<iframe src="listings_text.php" NAME="ishort" width="385" height="290"> </iframe>
</td>
<td>
<iframe src="listings_desc.php" NAME="ifull" width="350" height="290"> </iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

 

 

Left Iframe

<?php
	$sql3 = "SELECT * FROM listings ORDER by list_id DESC";
	$select_query3 = mysql_query($sql3) or die ('error1');
	$count3 = mysql_num_rows($select_query3);
	$row3 = mysql_fetch_array($select_query3);
	$list_id = $row3['list_id'];
	$title3 = stripslashes(nl2br($row3['list_event']));
	$desc3 = stripslashes(nl2br($row3['list_desc']));
	$mydate = $row3['list_date'];
$new_date = date("d.m.Y",strtotime($mydate)).'';
  

$short_desc = substr($desc3,1,40);		
echo '<table  cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="330" class="TLRB_border"> 
<tr>
<td align="left" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">
	<span class="box_title">'.$title3.'</span>
</td>
<td align="right" class="ten_organge" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">
  '.$new_date.'
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="main_text" colspan="2">
  '.$short_desc.'...
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" colspan="2">
<A HREF="listings_desc.php?id='.$list_id.'" TARGET="ifull" class="link">READ MORE</A>
</td>
</tr>
</table><br>';
?>

 

 

right Iframe

<?php
$postID = $_POST['id'];
echo $postID;
	$sql3 = "SELECT * FROM listings WHERE list_id='$postID'";
	$select_query3 = mysql_query($sql3) or die ('error1');
	$count3 = mysql_num_rows($select_query3);
	$row3 = mysql_fetch_array($select_query3);
	$title3 = stripslashes(nl2br($row3['list_event']));
	$desc3 = stripslashes(nl2br($row3['list_desc']));
	$mydate = $row3['list_date'];
$new_date = date("d.m.Y",strtotime($mydate)).'';
  

$short_desc = substr($desc3,1,50);		
echo '<table  cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" width="360"> 
<tr>
<td align="left">
	<span class="organge_14">'.$title3.'</span>
</td>
<td class="main_text">
  '.$new_date.'
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="main_text" colspan="2">
  '.$desc3.'
</td>
</tr>
</table>';
?>

 

Can any one please help.

 

Thanks
