Calling functions between frames...

[Hi Ho]

JavaScript can not run on server side. You can include it in the output of
your PHP script.

This question is not logic, maybe try to ask using some exemple. You can use
any function you created before on any php, you just need to include() it.
It that what you need.

I know it's not so difficult to call a JavaScript function that exists in
another frame, but is it possible to do the same server-side in PHP?

You can use the following javascript in one frame to call a php script in
another, should you wish to:

parent.targetframename.document.location.href="/path/to/script.php";

(If you using a frameset within a frameset, then you'll have to prepend
another "parent." to that to go up another level, if required)


If you're wanting to pass variables to the target script, you can add them
to the query string. eg
/path/to/script.php?myVar=somevalue


What script.php does with the variables is up to you. ;o)


If you're wanting to "POST" some variables to a php script on the server
through another frame, you can use the target="framename" attribute within
your form tag too, and not have to worry about twiddling about with
javascript at all.

Humbug! ;o)

Well, ok, usually true from a PHP developer's perspective, but not true as a
generalised statement - JavaScript is used extensively server side these
days for working with java based objects and apps.
