[SOLVED] Having a problem with carrying a variable over to an iframe.

[JSHINER]

<iframe src="http://www.site.com/page.php?id=000017" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" height="290" width="310"></iframe>

 

I get the 000017 in there with a variable, and in the code it shows up correctly - but for some reason the iframe does not pull it up. Any idea why?

Do you see it in the HTML source when viewed in the browser?  If so, it's a problem in your page.php script.

 

FYI, your description is a little vague.  What does "does not pull it up" mean?  Do you see nothing in the iframe?  Do you see the wrong content?

[phpQuestioner]

Is your "id" variable defined and/or is your mysql accurate?

[JSHINER]

Yes I see it in the HTML code - sorry for a vagueness

 

$page['var'] = get($db, $_GET['id']);

 

That's the code from the page.

 

When I view the source of the iframe I only see page.php?id= - the id does not show up.

[phpQuestioner]

try this:

 

page.php?id=<?php echo $_GET['id']; ?>

 

and see if that helps.

 

use this if your pass the id with a string.

[JSHINER]

It shows up fine the HTML code.

[phpQuestioner]

is your mysql or sql correct

[JSHINER]

Yes. As far as I know. When I call up the page outside the iframe it works fine with page.php?id=0017

[phpQuestioner]

is your frame target set?

 

by this I am assuming you are pass the variable in a query string to your iframe - right?

[JSHINER]

<iframe src="http://www.site.com/page.php?user=<?php echo $_SESSION['id']; ?>" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" height="290" width="310"></iframe>

 

Which displays in the HTML as <iframe src="http://www.site.com/page.php?user=17" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" height="290" width="310"></iframe>

 

But nothing comes up in the iframe.

 

And when I go to http://www.site.com/page.php?user=17 the page comes up fine.

 

 

[phpQuestioner]

do you have a url; I could test or code I can review?

[JSHINER]

<?php 

function get($db, $id = false) {
$arr = $db->getArray("SELECT  . . . ");
return $arr;

}

$db = new Database();

$page = array();

$page['id'] = get($db, $_GET['id']);

$db->close();

?>

[phpQuestioner]

see if you can do this in one page:

 

<iframe name="myframe" src="http://www.site.com/page.php" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" height="290" width="310"></iframe>

<br><br>

<a href="http://www.site.com/page.php?user=17" target="myframe">User 17 Wants In</a>

 

just for testing purposes - see if this works...........

 

 

 

[JSHINER]

That worked .

[JSHINER]

Ok great I wasn't going crazy here - there was apparently another "id" on that page which conflicted with the second one. Changed to "ida" and it worked great.

 

Sorry about that Long day.

[phpQuestioner]

no worries - glad you figured it out - good luck
