trying to use iFrame in php

[iellis]

I am a beginner looking for some help using an iframe within some php code:

The following code calls an image and a link from a MySQL databse:

<a href="<?php echo $SchoolsLink ?>"><img src="/images/<?php echo $School -> SchoolsImage ?>" alt="<?php echo $Title ?>" /></a>

What I want to happen is: When the visitor clicks on the link generated by <?php echo $SchoolsLink ?> I want the next page to open in an iframe... Can anyone help me figure this out?

Thanks

just add target="iFrameName" to the anchor

Thanks for replying... What do you mean by "iFrameName"? I was hoping to just use the html <iframe> tags... is there a different way I should do it?

[rguy84]

Most html tags have the name attribute. Give your iframe one, replce my iFrameName with the name you choose.

Ok, I understand that part, but I still have a question (stupid one I am sure):

I am not sure where to open and close the iframe in that code? I see now that I need to name the iframe, and then put that name in the link target, but where do I open and close the frame around the php?

You put it where ever you want it so show up on the page...

[iellis]

Yes, but I only want it to show up when someone clicks the link.... I want it to replace all the content currently showing when they click it....
