Re: [PHP] update two frames at once?
Jeanne, Your script example looks very promising. I have spent two solid days trying to solve this problem. I think what you have provided will be a big help. I am having trouble getting the navigation frame to update, though. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Do you have a working example? Best, Kathie -- Kathleen A.

RE: [PHP] update two frames at once?
I don't know if this is possible in PHP don't think so but you can do
some very nifty things using JavaScript.
Let's say you got two frames named links and main. Then you can for
example do something like this in a page called contacts.php in the main
frame
body class="main"
onLoad="Javascript:top.frames[0].location='links.php?page=contacts'"
Then in your links.php page you could have this php code.
if(isset($page))
{
include("./links/$page.inc");
}
As you can see, the value of $page can be whatever you want. So when
you then browse to another page, lets say companies.php then you could
include the special functions for that page in the links page.
This can be very usable for webbased applications when you wan't to keep
the functions on the right for each page, but want to change them
whenever you change pages.
There is a con to this all though. When you use this method and hit the
back button you will only be taken one step back, so the links page will
only be taken back but not the main screen. Best way to fix this is to
set up a pretty obvious back button that is in the path of the user
going to the left corner to the screen. The link on that one would then
be: a href="Javascript:history.back(-2)" instead of the usual -1.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [PHP] update two frames at once?
Hello al!
Is it possible to have two frames updated when cliking on one link? I
have a
page that is broken into 4 parts:
master title
section title
d section screen
i
r
.
what I want is that when a link is clicked on in the directory (the left
column), I'd like to update the section title *and* the section
screen...
It seemed a cool layout at the time, but I'm thinking this isn't easily
possible and I might just have to incorporate a section title on the
section
screen... But before I rewrite it, I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks!

Whoops I forgot to include the whole buildquerystring function in my last
post
Sorry about that
function build_querystring() {
global $HTTP_GET_VARS;
$vars=array();
$varlist=array("cID","dID","editreturn","return","action","editpers");
while (list($key,$value)=each($HTTP_GET_VARS)){
reset($varlist);
if (in_array($key,$varlist)){
$key=trim($key);
$value=trim($value);
$vars[]="$key=$value";
}
}
while (list($junk,$val)=each($vars)) {
}
$queryvars=implode($vars,"");
return $queryvars;
}

Here's what works for me-- You might adapt this to work on your frames.
on the frameset page--index.php ---I put the following:
?php
function build_querystring() {
global $HTTP_GET_VARS;
$vars=array();
//I use a list of the variables I want to be parsed here so as to avoid
some
mischief
$varlist=array("var1","var2","var3");
while (list($key,$value)=each($HTTP_GET_VARS)){
reset($varlist);
if (in_array($key,$varlist)){
$key=trim($key);
$value=trim($value);
$vars[]="$key=$value";
}
}
$dir="directoryname";
$thesevars=build_querystring();
$page=(isset($page) $page !="")?"$page":"defaultpage";
$gopage=(!$thesevars=="")?"$page.php?":"$page.php";
$framepage="$dir$gopage$thesevars";
?
Then in the frameset I make the url of mainFrame the value of $framepage
frameset rows="100,561*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0"
cols="*"
frame name="topNav" scrolling="NO" noresize src="topnav.php"
frame name="mainFrame" src="?php echo($framepage);?"
/frameset
Then your links are coded like so:
a href="/index.php?page=whatevervar1=foovar2=bar"
Maybe not the most elegant solution, but it works for me.

Re: [PHP] update two frames at once?
This may work, but it defeats the purpose of frames, which is to reduce reloading time. You would need to point to the frameset page, and have variables passed into each frame: html head title(your title)/title /head frameset rows="45%,55%" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0" cols="*" ?echo ' frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" name="top" src="master_title.php?put_your parameters_here='.$blablabla.'
