header controled Frame

Is it possible to create a dynamic type of page that will change the URL address when the frame content is changed, like index.php?main=updates.html
this way I could include my framed menu without the lack of linking capabilities. Any ideas?

To clarify the index page would be a dynamic page with frames. When you click a link instead of leaving the URL address alone, it changes to index.php?main=content/link.html

This way you can have a framed menu and better linking capabilites.

You mean something like:

Code:

---

<frameset><frame src="nav.php">
<frame src="<?php echo $_GET['main']; ?>"></frameset>

---

Sure is possible. Just make sure nobody can insert their own pages into your frameset.

how do I set the default page if there is no value? I'm using cells now

Code:

---

<td nowrap><?php include $_GET['load']; ?></td>

---

I do this on my site. It also stops people injecting their own vlaues too:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
    $location = (isset ($_GET['location'])?$_GET['location']:'main');

    switch ($location) {
        case 'random':
            $includefile = 'random.php';
            break;
        case 'projects':
            $includefile = 'projects.php';
            break;
        case 'main':
        default:
            $includefile = 'main.php';    
    }
    
    @include ("include/$includefile");
?>

doesn't seem to work, I don't need to prevent injecting own values or any thing complex, just an include page and a default start page. How do I apply the code you gave?

umm... you put it in the page?

Can you explain what it is that isn't working? Are you getting an error... is it loading the wrong page... ???

Code:

---

<frameset><frame src="nav.php">
<frame src="<?php echo $_GET['main']; ?>"></frameset>

I need to do the exact same thing but in .asp now, other code is already .asp
