passing file contents to frames

Sir,actually my task is having three frames.In the left frame,I have a select box that displays the dir folders and when clicking the select box folders,it will dynamically displays the files retreived from the database.In the other 2 frames I want to display the output and the source code respectively.
Here everything is perfect,but the only problem is how to display the source code corresponding to each files.
My coding is :
This page containing 4 frames.one frame is for displaying the folders and the corresponding files by dynamically selecting the select box.and the other 3 frames displays the output,source and comment's about the file respectively.
The only problem is how to display the source code to the specified frame as it is.
This is the Main page
<frameset cols="20%,80%">
<frame src="left_files.php" name="files">

<frameset rows="50%,40%,10%">

<frame src="output.php" name="output">
<frame src="source.php" name="source">
<frame src="comment.php" name="comment">
</frameset>
</frameset>



The left page displays the folders and the corresponding files.
For example: if there is a file called "array.php" and if u click this,the corresponding output,source and comment will display automatically.
Here we can easily display the output.But the problem is how to display the source code as it is.

Can u help me.....
Thank u.

A good way to start is using the highlight_file function. In a PHP file, you could do:

This would print the current php script's source code and it will be highlighted.

You can replace the $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] part with a path to another file to show that file's source.

Make sure you have read permission on the file you intend to show.

sir I'm new to PHP,So,please can u show me an example for 'file_translated( )".....

Anyway I'm going to try that on ur way,after I'll reply u.....
Thank u sir.....

Thank u sir.

The source code is displayed as it is.Thank u so much.But the problem is how to pass it to another frame and how to display it in to that frame....can u help me sir..

I am new to this message board. I have tried a few private messages, but no one seems to answer. My profile contains my AOL AIM contact as well as ICQ #. I do hope I may make a few friends interested in helping others learn PHP.



I download mIRC client and joined the #phpfreaks channel. I did get a couple of excellent explanations there to a few of my questions. If you google search on PHPFREAKS MIRC, you will find a page that explains how to do all this. Do be careful to download mIRC only from the link on that page, as I suspect that there are some bogus copies of mIRC floating around.

The channel is : irc.freenode.net

I am only a beginner, teaching myself, but perhaps this crude code of mine below (my first attempts) can help a little.

===========

<hr>

disp_disp_createcontact is a sample of the code I use to read in a .PHP file and display it in a text box, so visitors to my site may cut and paste it into their own applications.



<?php



$fp = fopen("createcontact.PHP", "r");



$dialogue = fread($fp, 100000);

/*

Notice that the fread command, which is designed to read only a specified number

of bytes from a file, is told to read 100,000 bytes in order to trick it

into reading the entire file. Perhaps I should have made it bigger than 100,000

but that will become obvious if you ever use this code but do not see all of

a program displayed

*/

$ampersand_LT_semicolon = "&-l-t-;";

$ampersand_LT_semicolon = str_replace("-","",$ampersand_LT_semicolon);

$ampersand_GT_semicolon = "&-l-t-;";

$ampersand_GT_semicolon = str_replace("-","",$ampersand_GT_semicolon);

/*

Here you can see how to place comments in your PHP code, sandwiching them

between SLASH-ASTTERISK and ASTERISK-SLASH

The str-replace command (below) is designed to substitute

ampersandltsimicolon (& l t for all LESS-THAN (left arrow) signs

and ampersandgtsemicolon (& g t for all GREATER-THAN (right arrow)

signs, so that code may be displayed in the browser without having

the bracketed tags actually execute.

Unfortunately, what you will see is str_replace("<","<", $dialogue)

and not str_replace("<","&_l_t_;", $dialogue)

I have attempted to remove some of this ambiguity by using

$ampersand_GT_semicolon and $ampersand_LT_semicolon

*/

$dialogue = str_replace("<", "$ampersand_LT_semicolon", $dialogue);

$dialogue = str_replace(">", "$ampersand_GT_semicolon", $dialogue);

echo '<FORM>';

echo "<P>";

echo '<TEXTAREA name="thetext" rows="20" cols="80">';

echo $dialogue;

echo '</TEXTAREA>';

echo '</P>';

echo '</FORM>';

Calling a php script from a link in html and passing arguments to it

Wow! Did I have a hard time getting this new parameter passing code to work! I naievly assumed that I could simple throw some php code into the middle of my HTML. When this did not work, I decided to make the page a PHP page which ECHO's the html as quoted strings. Using this method, suddenly, the parameter passing technique works!



<?php

// http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsq...02/msg00048.php

$value = "countfiles.PHP";



printf("<a href='argpass2.PHP?ARG=%s'>List code for $value </a>", $value);

//to get it on the "current page":

// printf("ARG has value: %s", $ARG);

Note to myself:

I am going to explore the interesting code suggested in this post:



highlight_file($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);
This would print the current php script's source code and it will be highlighted.

You can replace the $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] part with a path to another file to show that file's source.

Thank u so much .I got a lot of information's from u.After using this ,I'll reply u
