RE: [PHP] PHP Alternative to IFRAME?
You could do it this way:
Put the content of the file into a variable:
?php
$fp = fopen($filename, r);
$content = !-- Insert Start --;
if($fp) {
while(! feof($fp)) {
$content .= fread($fp, 1024);
}
}
?
Insert the variable into a div tag:
div id=content
?php
echo $content;
?
/div
Then create a style sheet that defines the properties of the content
DIV:
style type=text/css
!--
#content {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
float: left
}
--
/style
The above collection of code would include the contents of the specified
file/url into a box to the left of the screen, with any other text
wrapping around it. You could do pretty much what you want with the DIV
though, CSS Rocks :)
Does that answer the question?
Cheers,
Jason

Your right I was mixing up what I wanted.
What I wanted to know I guess was if I use an include and
include a file can I format where that file will display.
So what I have is a little box with some info in it. I want
it to display to the right of the body text and have the body
text wrap around it.

No, of course not. PHP is a server-side language. IFRAME's (and
anything related to page construction/display) is client-side.

You're mixing technologies. If Netscape won't display
something, there
is nothing PHP can do about it. You need to think of another layout
technique that it can display.

In your web page in the location where the little box is. Word wrap
typically only happens with images though, so you may have to turn your
text into an image, in which case you could just use a javascript
commands to change the image as needed. If you are including the text
into a table it would be something like:
table border=0
trtdsome text that keeps running and running/td/tr
trtd?php
include box_info.php;
?
/td/tr
HTH,

I think this is what you're looking for:
echo 'div style=float: right;';
include('someFile.php');
echo '/div
div';
//more content here that goes ot the left and bottom of the above div
echo '/div';

[PHP] PHP Alternative to IFRAME?
Is there a PHP alternative to an IFRAME? Here's what I mean. Is there a way to include a file in my php document that will be positioned where I want it, like an IFRAME? I want to have it aligned right with text wrapping around it and I know IFRAME is not compatible with Netscape browsers.

Yes absolutely, but again this is still an HTML issue. N So what I have is a little box with some info in it. I want it to display N to the right of the body text and have the body text wrap around it. Say you've got a PHP file that has all of the HTML in it that you want, other than this little box. At the place where you want the content of that box to appear you need to use something like this: ?php include litle_box.php; ? Whatever is contained in the little_box.php script will then appear in exactly that place in the final page. Of course you're going to need to arrange the HTML in both files to make this work, but I think it's what you are after. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
