sometimes need a cgi/perl page to import.
can setup ifelse as i did to look for pages of any type.
I am also able to specify the size, and no border.
for a few security reasons i have used full server url to see if the file exists, if it does, load into an iframe. and add a link to open in a new window if the browser does not suppor it.
config settings,
CODE
<?php
$iframe_height="600";
$iframe_width="550";
//full server root path
$iframe_contents_dir="/home/path/to/dir";
// http url to same dir as $iframe_contents_dir
$iframe_contents_url="http://localhost";
$iframe_style="style=\"width:$iframe_width; height:$iframe_height;\"";
?>
now we need to build the function,
this funtion does several things like if the page is not found, nothing happens, the else statement.
on my site, $main_page is the action, change to yours.
so to call a page pagename.php?main_page=import-page-name, no .php is a securty thing also, so that only the file extentions you say can be loaded.
to see settings for debugging un-comment print after else
CODE
<?php
function iframe_content($main_page) {
global $main_page, $iframe_contents_url, $iframe_contents_dir, $iframe_style, $iframe_contentfile, $mypage;
$iframe_contentfile = "$iframe_contents_dir/" .$main_page. ".php";
if (is_file($iframe_contentfile)) {
$mypage = "$iframe_contents_url/" .$main_page. ".php";
print " <a href=\"$mypage\" target=\"_new\">Open in new Window</a><BR><iframe frameborder=\'0\' $iframe_style src=\"$mypage\"> </iframe>";
} else {
//print "Page not found <BR> $iframe_contents_dir <BR>$iframe_contents_url";
}
}
?>
now we need a way to call the function, placed were you want the content to be displayed.
CODE
<?php
iframe_content($main_page);
?>
completed code,
CODE
<?php
$iframe_height="600";
$iframe_width="550";
//full server root path
$iframe_contents_dir="/home/path/to/dir";
// http url to same dir as $iframe_contents_dir
$iframe_contents_url="http://localhost";
$iframe_style="style=\"width:$iframe_width; height:$iframe_height;\"";
function iframe_content($main_page) {
global $main_page, $iframe_contents_url, $iframe_contents_dir, $iframe_style, $iframe_contentfile, $mypage;
$iframe_contentfile = "$iframe_contents_dir/" .$main_page. ".php";
if (is_file($iframe_contentfile)) {
$mypage = "$iframe_contents_url/" .$main_page. ".php";
print " <a href=\"$mypage\" target=\"_new\">Open in new Window</a><BR><iframe frameborder=\'0\' $iframe_style src=\"$mypage\"> </iframe>";
} else {
//print "Page not found<BR> $iframe_contents_dir <BR>$iframe_contents_url";
}
}
iframe_content($main_page);
?>
Have fun
