Page transition in PHP

[Busy]

Hello Everyone

Please can someone point me in the direction of a really good tutorial or
discussion on PHP page transition?

What I'm looking for is coverage of page transition that covers:

Breaking out of frames in PHP - for and against arguments with examples;

Carrying forward variables - the various methods of moving variables from
one page to another with dialogs on the merits of each, covering $_POST,
$_REQUEST, $_SESSION and other variable types;

Page transition - types and the merits of each - such as simple transition
(one page name moving to the next page name) down to page rewrite - only
one page name that rewrites its self dependant on say the menu item that
you select and maybe calls in 'requires' to acomplish this;

Not too much there is there? Strangely when searching the internet for
tutorials and discussion on this subject, the only pages I can find are
requests for the same thing. Many excellent sites have excellent tutorials
on many aspects of using PHP, but equally they seem to overlook this very
basic area of expertise - because it's so basic!

Thanks

Nick

You won't find any tutorials since PHP runs on the SERVER and doesn't
know or care what the display looks like. In fact, there's nothing to say
that a PHP script has to generate any visible output. Displaying the
information is the job of the Browser on the client, so you need to look
at client scripts for display options. A PHP script can write Javascript
that could control the display.

You left out one method: $_GET. An indepth discussion is beyond the scope
of this post.

See above, you didn't find anything, because page transitions can't be
done in PHP, not that it is so basic.
