How to submit a form to 2 files (frames) ?

Hi everybody,

I need to submit a form to a frameset which contains 2 PHP files. Both PHP files need the form's data. The submited data is an array (arrayX[]) which contains an unknown amount of strings.

Does anybody have an idea how to do that ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot !

Why don't you "require" or "include" the second frame into the first if the submit button was pushed.

if ($submit_button)
{
require("frame2.php2");
}

I don't think that I get it. The problem is, I have to submit my form to frame_file.php which basically looks like
<frameset>
<frame name="frame1" src="file1.php" ...>
<frame name"frame2" src="file2.php" ...>
</frameset>

I submit my form to "frame_file.php" and need to process the submitted data in both "file1.php" and "file2.php". How could your solution help ?

Thanks !

i think one way to do this is that, just pass these information with an array variable and then process those information in file1.php and file2.php

Give a try like following..

<frameset>
<frame name="frame1" src="file1.php?variable[]=<?echo $values?>" ...>
<frame name"frame2" src="file2.php?variable[]=<?echo $values?>" ...>
</frameset>

or

You can try some other logic also with exec() function to process file1.php and file2.php from frame_file.php..

Hi Shiju,

you gave me the right tip, however I couldn't do it exactly as you proposed.

Doing it like ...?result[]=<? echo $result;?>... gave me the word "Array" as value for result[i].

So, I decided to process the submitted array in the frame file already and passed on a string with the comma separated values to the two files.
That worked, so my problem seems to be solved.

Thanks a lot !
