header controled Frame

[J_Man]

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:

<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

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

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

<?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?

[ober0330]

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... ???

<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
