I don't know if this is possible in PHP don't think so but you can do
some very nifty things using JavaScript.
Let's say you got two frames named links and main. Then you can for
example do something like this in a page called contacts.php in the main
frame
<body class="main"
onLoad="Javascript:top.frames[0].location='links.php?page=contacts'">
Then in your links.php page you could have this php code.
if(isset($page))
{
include("./links/$page.inc");
}
As you can see, the value of $page can be whatever you want. So when
you then browse to another page, lets say companies.php then you could
include the special functions for that page in the links page.
This can be very usable for webbased applications when you wan't to keep
the functions on the right for each page, but want to change them
whenever you change pages.
There is a con to this all though. When you use this method and hit the
back button you will only be taken one step back, so the links page will
only be taken back but not the main screen. Best way to fix this is to
set up a pretty obvious back button that is in the path of the user
going to the left corner to the screen. The link on that one would then
be: <a href="Javascript:history.back(-2)"> instead of the usual -1.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [PHP] update two frames at once?
Hello al!
Is it possible to have two frames updated when cliking on one link? I
have a
page that is broken into 4 parts:
master title
section title
d section screen
i
r
.
what I want is that when a link is clicked on in the directory (the left
column), I'd like to update the section title *and* the section
screen...
It seemed a cool layout at the time, but I'm thinking this isn't easily
possible and I might just have to incorporate a section title on the
section
screen... But before I rewrite it, I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks!
-Michael
