Hi, i’m new on this forum.
I need to get a url of an iframe from a form.
A parent php page with an iframe, in the iframe the user can navigate and when the user has found his page click a button on the php parent page that send a variable to another php page with the frame url.
It is possibile?

@hastxOct 10.2012 — I think you want to use javascript to communicate across frames. even if you could use PHP, the user experience would not be that great... probably involve page refreshes.

@NogDogOct 10.2012 — If both the parent page and the iframe page are on the same domain, you can access functions in the parent from the iframe via JavaScript as:
<i>
</i>window.parent.functionName()

If they are on different domains, it's possible, but gets quite a bit more convoluted (and I'm not sure I could explain it correctly without doing a lot of research first).

$url=www.google.it;
echo ("<form method=GET action=geturl.php>
<p><iframe src=".$url.">
</iframe></p>
<p><input type=submit value=Invia></p>
</form>");
[...][/CODE]
THE FRAME IS A WEBSITE, BETHINK GOOGLE, the user can navigate on the frame and when has found the following webpage click on the submit and send the variable $url that will contain the url of the webpage to geturl.php.
