Killing / Releasing IFrame

Jan 11th, 2009
Hi there,

I have a problem that I have called a PHP script in IFRAME and I want to release that IFRAME once the tasks are completed.

Parts of the scripts are as follows:


Process_form.php:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if($send_back_to_form == "yes") {
  2. $redirect_to = $form_page_name."?done=1";
  3. } else {
  4. $redirect_to = $success_page;
  5. }

===> I need $success_page to load without any frames <====

Config.php:
$success_page = "thanks.php";

Thanks.php:
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://www.mysite.com/index.php" />'

Any help will be appreciated to sort the problem out please.

===> I need $success_page to load in the same browser releasing the previous IFRAME <====


Cheers!!

you should be able to do it with a bit of javascript
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2. echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
  3. echo"parent.window.location = $success_page";
  4. echo'</script>';
  5. ?>
that should work or you could send a link that the user would have to click on with a target of _top
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2. echo"<a href=\"$success_page\" target=\"_top\">Click Here</a>";
  3. ?>
Hope that works

I think you could also use opener.location instead of parent.window.location, that might work better.

Um, i feel kinda stupid as i have answered this post twice already but you actualy need
self.parent.location=
in the javascript not parent.window.location or opener.location

Rgds (Yes again )

Dear Sam,

Really appreciated!!

But none of these worked!! I don't know why, may be the placement of the script was not appropriate. Actually three different files are working alongside, can you please be more specific where I should place this script please?

File no. 1 is: Process_form.php:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if($send_back_to_form == "yes") {
  2. $redirect_to = $form_page_name."?done=1";
  3. } else {
  4. $redirect_to = $success_page;
  5. }

===> I need $success_page to load without any frames <====

File no. 2 is: Config.php:
$success_page = "thanks.php";

File no.3 is: Thanks.php:
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://www.mysite.com/index.php" />'

Kindest Regards,

Right then,
this should work (If it doesn't then i'm out of ideas)
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2. include('config.php'); //Include the config file
  3.  
  4. if($send_back_to_form == "yes") {
  5.  
  6. $redirect_to = $form_page_name."?done=1";
  7. } else {
  8. $redirect_to = $success_page;
  9. }
  10. //Output a page that sends the parent page to somewhere (Not the IFrame)
  11. //This page has no content other than standard HTML and JS
  12. ?>
  13. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  14. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  15. <head>
  16. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  17. <script type="text/javascript">
  18. <!--
  19. function outsideframe() {
  20. 	opener.location = '<?php echo $redirect_to; ?>';
  21. }
  22. //-->
  23. </script>
  24. </head>
  25.  
  26. <body onload="javascript:outsideframe()">
  27. <!-- In the rare case a user don't have javascript -->
  28. <a href="<?php echo $redirect_to; ?>" target="_parent">Click To Continue</a>
  29. </body>
  30. </html>
  31.  
Copy that code onto Process_form.php (Backup the original though) and see how that works. I wonder if this would count towards my IT GCSE
Hope that works for you,
Regards,

I have a frame breakout in succcess.page.php
javascript Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>
  2.   if (top.location != location) { 
  3.  top.location.href = document.location.href ;
  4.   }
  5. </script>
or
javascript Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>
  2. if (parent.frames.length > 0) {
  3.     parent.location.href = self.document.location
  4. }
  5. </script>
degrades badly if javascript disabled

Failure is not an option It's included free, you don't have to do anything to get it
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved
