PHP and HTML and IFRAME problem

Apr 22nd, 2009

I included a file in one of my sites via an iframe (simplest solution and by FAR not permanent), just to get a feel for the way it might look on the site

However, after adding the iframe to the site, i have no other data, the page is saved as php, just jumped out of php to add the iframe (doing so in php makes no differance)

But the page is black for all BUT the iframe, any help would be appreciated and i am puzzled

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">setTimeout("location.reload();",1000);</script>
<?PHP
 
echo date("l F d, Y, h:i:s");
 
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">setTimeout("location.reload();",1000);</script>
<?PHP

echo date("l F d, Y, h:i:s");

?>

that a much more basic webpage, this webpage shows nothing as well, all it is supposed to do is show the i frame, and echo the date / time

it will not echo the date / time, only display the iframe

its prolly something stupid

That code works perfectly for me so perhaps it's the html code on the main page used to include the iframe. The code I used to include the iframe is as follows:

 Help with Code Tags 
 html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<iframe src='frame.php' width=300 height=30>Iframe Not supported</iframe>
<iframe src='frame.php' width=300 height=30>Iframe Not supported</iframe>

Also if you want to know what language to do the proper vision in I would suggest pure javascript and a div tag because every second a javascript function could update the contents of what is inside the div tag using basic maths.

Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

like cwarn suggested, try using JS to call the iframe, , then display the php date.
if you need more help, please paste your code from the main page and the iframe.
thanks
