PHP :: Dynamic Menu Bar In A Frame - Controlling Frames In Php?

PHP & Frames; Why Is The Full PHP Code Displayed In Frame?
Having completed a whole stack of PHP files, tested them (worked fine), I now have to let these pages be displayed in my client's website.
But said client has done his website in frames.

When I put in code like:

<frame name="main" src="myphpfile.php" >

what get's displayed in that frame is the full php code

Example: echo $name
instead of the actual name

so the browser is not sending the code to PHP first, it seems. How do I fix this?

I presume it's not a matter of, you can't have frames in a PHP/MySQL site.

Frames To Display Menu Options
I am just starting web development after a long break (6 years). Last time I was developing frames were often used to display menu options on the side of the page.
I was wondering as frames seem to be no longer used how would a menu bar on the left hand side of the website and possibly a bar along the top would be achieved in a php site?

Dynamic Menu CSS
I am trying for a long time now, to find a way of creating a dynamic drop
down menu. I have the CSS part ready and working and also I have the first
level of the menu working.
the problem I have is how can I submit the id from the first level menu in
order to make the query and create the second level and so on menu.

I am trying to avoid Javascript but I can't see another way at the moment...
What I want to achieve is to produce the menu on HOVER if that is not
possible on click will be ok as well.
Do any of you have an idea ?

This is the code I have :
**********************************************
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><h2>Products</h2>
<ul>
<?php do { ?>
<li><a href="?cat_id=<?php echo
($row_product_categories['prod_category_id']); ?>"title="<?php echo
strtoupper($row_product_categories['prod_category_name']); ?>"><?php echo
ucfirst($row_product_categories['prod_category_name']); ?></a></li>
<?php }
while ($row_product_categories =
mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_product_categories)); ?>
<ul>

<?php do { ?>
<li><a href="index.php?id=<?php echo ($row_products['prod_id']);
?>"title="<?php echo strtoupper($row_products['prod_name']); ?>"><?php echo
ucfirst($row_products['prod_name']); ?></a></li>
<?php }
while ($row_products = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_products)); ?>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Mysql Php Dynamic Menu
I am trying to write a script that will create dynamically a menu from MySQL
database. The database table is a product categories table and it has the folowing filed:

category_id, parent_category_id, category_name (some other fileds are there
as well but these are enough to figure out the logic)

I know that I have to store all the product_categories records in a temp
array and then some how go through them and store the level of each record
in the menu....

If you have done something like that I suppose you know what I mean and I
would much appreciate to give me a hint here ...
I had a look in the phpLayersMenu from sourceforge but it is really advanced
OO code and I cannot understand the logic....

My target is to create a Tree menu with no pre - defined number of
records...

Dynamic Navigation Menu
I need to build a dynamic menu that will include certain links depending on what variables are in the URL. This is doable - right?

For example: catalog.php?product=widget&color=green

Menu would look like:

Green Widgets
Brand 1 Green Widget
Brand 2 Green Widget
Brand 3 Green Widget
etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dynamic Select Menu
I am trying to populate a select menu with data from a mysql db. I get the select menu, but no content or errors. The two fields are id and websites. Here is the code:

Dynamic Drop Down Menu
I'm having difficulties displaying the MakeModelID for a row selected from a drop down menu I've populated from a table combining three attributes (Make, Model and Specification - for example Ford Transit LWB 350 HR). What I require is to capture in a variable, such as $MakeModelID, the ID for that record selected. Code:

Creating Dynamic Drop Down Menu
I have a mysql database called Auditions with a table called Sept7. The table has two columns Time and Name. I want to create a dynamic pull down menu and populate it with items pulled from the table based on a query. Code:

Dynamic MySQL Nav Menu Sorting
I have this dynamic menu and I want to change the order of the menu items...
I added a column in the database wich has an integer value for ordering the
menuitems.
But the only way is by hardcoding them into the database.

I would like a way to sort them with drag-and-drop or with up/down arrows.

Do you think that except PHP & MYsql I will need Javascript as well ?
Any ideas how to do that ?

Dynamic Message Board Menu
Here's an issue I've spent the last 8 hours trying to get my head around, I'm pretty sure the answer is simple enough, but I just cannot work it out, any help would be much appreciated...even just a function name or something...

I have a very simple message board setup. The browse menu will look end up like below, all dynamically fed from a database, which is currently setup as:

[articleID] [articleDate] [articleText]
23 2007-07-18 Lorem ipsum dolor....

The 'articleDate' field is a DATE type, formatted yyyy-mm-dd. All posts should be sorted ascending, latest first. I want nothing to be hard coded, so there could be 2 posts in any month, or 200, or there could be no posts in any year.

2007
June
- #1
- #2
August
-#1
September
-#1
-#2

2008
January
-#1
.
.
.
.
.
So on and so on.

So far, I've toyed with array_unique(), as well as multi-dimensional arrays, but I'm really not sure if this is the right approach. I'd post code but I'm not sure there's any point, what I'm really looking to find out is the method to use, rather than code snippets, so if anyone has achieved this, how did you do it? I'm happy as to teach myself whatever I need to know, problem is I don't know what I need to know...

Unexpected Order On Dynamic Select Menu
I've got a directory called 'potm' (picture of the month) that contains:

02.jpg
03.jpg
04.jpg

I'm dynamically constructing an 'archive' select menu that contains all the available pics. For some reason the select menu reads:

April
February
March

I've tried to sort the array, but it made no difference. PHP Code:

[PEAR:QuickForm] Dynamically Change A Dropdown Menu According To Another Menu?
I've been using QuickForm for a few months now and I am now given a
new challenge:

I've got a search form with a dozen of dropdown menus, the first
dropdown menu being "Brand". If you select either Brand A, B, C, D...
Z, the second dropdown menu "Model" must be dynamically changed to
model AA, AB, AC, AD..., according to the models manufactured by the
brand selected in the first box.

I've seen that done on quite a few sites, but never found if QuickForm
had a quick & clean way of doing that.

Controlling Navigation With PHP
I got a set of pages which must be navigated in a strict manner. Let's
just say the pages are named A, B, C, and so on. I got no problem with
forward navigation, but I want to disable the client browser's back
button. More specifically, if the user is currently at page D, the
back button doesn't bring the user to page C, but page A instead
(assuming consecutive navigation, from A to B to C and so on).

How can I achieve this with PHP, assuming both the server and the
client are behind strict firewall (both referer and cookies disabled),
and use of client-side javascript are avoided as much as possible (or
even considered disabled as well, either by the firewall or the
browser's setting)?

Controlling Content
I want to control the content that displays on certain days and times.. so example on monday-friday between 7 am and 10 am I want certain content displayed.. but later that day between 5 pm and 8 pm i want other content displayed.. and on weeekends between 7 am and 10 am i want to display different content than on m-f.. I know I need to probably use date() but I dont know how to specify the if statements.

Controlling Download
I have a few files on my server that can be downloaded by usig the url. but since these are not html or php files i cant really put a counter on them or some php script on them. is audio clips. and the user accesses tehm from a link i sent them by email. how can i now find out if this file has been downloaded and how many times?

Table Controlling...
I met some troubles, i want to create a html table by php and it would arrange the data from mysql as below that shown

<tr><td>DataRow0</td> | <td>DataRow1</td></tr>
<tr><td>DataRow2</td> | <td>DataRow3</td></tr>
<tr><td>DataRow4</td> |

i have tried to use looping but failed, can anyone give me a lesson.

Controlling Row Color With Mysql Output
I cant figure out how to control the <tr> color when mysql outputs a query. I want the rows to alternate color (e.g. white, grey, white, grey...) Any thoughts on how I can achieve this?

Controlling Frequency Of A Banner Display
I want to display a banner at the top of our comprehensive information site, inviting readers who haven't made a donation to do so.

I am new to PHP, but learning fast, and would appreciate comments/help from more expert readers. My aims are:

1) To totally hide the banner from readers who have made a donation.

2) To show the banner on increasing frequency depending upon usage of the site (starting at, say, every 5th page and increasing to every page for heavy usage).

I accepting the constraints of cookies, but envisage that the frequency with which the banner is shown will be controlled by both the number of page impressions in the current session and with previous sessions (assuming cookies enabled on the readers site).

Controlling User Flow With Forms
I have a screen where I ask the user their payment type. Once they
select the payment type either check or credit card, I would like them
to go to a seperate checkout page. How can I write a bit of code to
make .php re-direct them to the proper page? (I considered doing this
with Javascript, but would rather keep it all in .php)

Controlling The Copying Of Images From A Site
Is there a way to prevent users copying a full size image from a web page.
Displaying the image with a smaller width and height only affects the image
as viewed, the actual full size image file is still downloaded. I know I can
get around it by having two versions of an image, the full size one and a
smaller on for display purposes. but is there a way around having to have
two images and use the full ssize one and stop it being copied or if copied
will only be a thumbnail?

Html Form Controlling Mysql Query
im trying to have the user choose an album from an html drop-down menu, submit the choice to a php page which runs the mysql query based on the choice. the code:

Cookie In Frame
I have this login that works fine when the page is presented as-is, but
I want to allow other site owner to put any page from my site in a
frame in their own site.

The thing is that when the page is called from a different domain, the
cookie is not sent to the server.

Frame Redirection
"Web redirection : Pointing of certain domain to certain folder or elsewhere.

Bought 123.com and forward it to www.abc.com/123
Bought xyz.com and forward it to www.abc.com/xyz
This is done not from the DNS level but using scripts or frame
redirection."

I am not sure if i am posting in the right forum but this is what I want to achive. Does anyone here know anything about frame redirection?

Is There A Way To Redirect To A Frame?
I know that with javascript you can do this
window.parent.left.location = "http://www.site.html"

that redirects a frame named left.

I know that in php you can do this
header( 'Location: http://www.site.html' ) ;

But how can i make php load that page into the frame named left?

Inline Frame
Can PHP control an Inline Frame? I have an Inline frame in my page And I have this PHP code which displays links:

$q = "SELECT * FROM rent
ORDER BY Date DESC
LIMIT 100;";

$res = @mysql_query($q);

while($r = @mysql_fetch_array($res))
{
echo "<a href='/results/flats.php?P={$r['ID']}'>{$r['Title']}</a><br />";
}
I want these links to Open in the Inline Frame (not the whole page)

The Inline-frame name is 'Frame'

What should I add to my code.

Load Url Into A Frame
I have a database with url's in it, and I want to load one at random into a frame, when a link is clicked I want to load a new random url into the frame

Designating Which Frame To Print To
say i have a page with 3 frames on it..... what would a php statement look like that would print to a specific frame...

Header - Target Frame
Hi, how could i point this to a target frame?
Header ( "Location: $url" );

Targeting Specific Frame
Hi I have used frames a while ago but not since going with PHP Is there anything special with frames and PHP I seem to be having trouble with targeting a different frame

I have 3 frameset "top", "side" and "main"

in the side frame I grab some info from a database and create a simple anchor tag with some variables loaded into into and I want to when the anchor tag is clicked have the information loaded into the "main" frame.

the link does not appear to be created correctly here is the actual code for the anchor tag.

Inline Frame And Sizes
I have:

echo "<iframe name="whatever" src="".GetURL("somepage.php" ).""
width="600" height="400" scrolling="no" frameborder=0></
IFRAME>";

The point: I have a fixed height and width. Is there a way to set it
to max. E.g. for frames by setting withd=* it will use the size, but
not for inline frames?

Cookie & Frame From Another Domain?
I have a feature that is hosted on a different domain from the primary one
in a frame, and need to retain values in a cookie.

example: A web page at one.com contains a frame which has a page hosted at
two.com

If I view the frameset from one.com in Firefox, all works well with the
content from two.com. But if trying to view this using IE (with standard
security settings), the cookie set by two.com is not accessible.

Have been tinkering with the domain setting in the setcookie function to
specify the domain: have tried one.com and two.com, but have not been able
to get at the cookie value.

How To Destory Session In A Frame?
I have my program in php - on one of the pages I have a frame which contains another program which means that in this case I now have like two sessions being created one for my main program and one for the program called within the frame. I can destroy the session created in my main program when I log out but I don't know how to destroy the session created by the program which runs in the frame.

im making a personal site with 3 sections. home (news), design, and code. in the main design i setup an iframe which includes page.php. page.php contains this code PHP Code:

Automatically Loading A New Page In A Frame.
the basic idea here is that I want a web page that is made up of
frames to redirect automatically to a frame depending on an if
statement...

}else
{
load url2.php in frame "main"

Displaying A Pdf Coming Out Of A Mysql-db In A Frame
I have a mysql-database with some pdf in it.
I can send them to a webbrowser using this script:

<?php
//output.php4
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tbfiles WHERE tbfiles.ID={$id}";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$dateien = mysql_fetch_object($result);
$daten = $dateien->Inhalt;
$name = $dateien->Dateiname;
$groesse = $dateien->Groesse;
$typ = $dateien->Typ;

header("Content-type: $typ");
header("Content-length: $groesse");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
echo $daten;
?>

My problem is that I get a download dialog where I want to save the pdf but
I want to open it in a fram or iframe like this:
<iframe src="./output.php4?id=129" width="100%" height="400"
name="outputbox">
where id=129 indicates my document.

I get the correct result in Internet Explorer (but not in Opera) if I change
the script like this:

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$name");

Does anybody know a solution for Opera? Then I could provide different
scripts depending on the browser.
Or even better a solution working in all browsers?
