is this possible? php and inline frames?

[gibrst]

Hi, what im trying to do, is make pictures change, after X seconds, but without refreshing the page?

 

So i thought ill use a inline frame, of a php file doing such! BUT the pictures being shows all depends on info sent over the URL, using the $_GET command?

 

but obviously that URL is not inline frame one, so in others words:

 

Im trying to get info from the MAIN url from a php file in a frame?

 

Do you understand?

 

Cheers

have you tried ajax?

[l0ve2hat3]

yes deff use ajax. its sooo much nicer.

[l0ve2hat3]

here is just an example of one way to use ajax.

 

 

example pictureDisplay.php

<script>


function ajax_do (url) {


        var jsel = document.createElement('SCRIPT');
        jsel.type = 'text/javascript';
        jsel.src = url;

        document.body.appendChild (jsel);
}



</script>
<form name='form1'>
<input type='text' name='textbox'><br>
<input type='button' name='button' value='press' onclick="ajax_do('AjaxGetPicture.php?picture=' + document.form1.textbox.value);">
</form>
<div id="contentdiv">
</div>

 

 

example AjaxGetPicture.php

type the path and name of your picture and click the button

<?

$picture = $_REQUEST['picture'];

?>
div = document.getElementById('contentdiv');
div.innerHTML = "<img src='<?php echo $picture; ?>' alt='Some Picture' hieght='150' width='150'>";

Ok, im a bit confused to how that does what im after! It may do, but i just not done much Ajax.

 

Ill just explain again, and let me know if this ajax does it.

 

Main page URL example: www.domainame.co.uk/index.php?a=info

 

In that page is a inline frame and i want the page thats in the frame to be able to $_GET the a (info) from the url.

Anyone??

[l0ve2hat3]

you have to be a bit more detailed.  a=info????? give me a real example of EXACTLY what you want to do

[gibrst]

Hmm well i cant give you a real example as i cant get it working?

 

The info doesnt matter what it is, i was just saying how i was getting the info

 

You know how you can get info from the URL using the &_GET commad.

 

So... www.domainname.com/index.php?a=info

 

I could then within my php page do

 

$a=$_GET['a'];

 

Well... instead of the php file doing the $a=$_GET['a']; i want a php file in a frame to do the $a=$_GET['a']; and retrive it?

 

Does that help?

 

Cheers
