Hey, The title really sums it up.
I have a php script in an iframe I want to be able to refresh the parent window from the iframe.

very simple example as follows:
note its an example.

Main.php
[PHP]
I want all content here to be refreshed
<iframe scr="second.php "></iframe>
[/PHP]

Second.php
[PHP]
<? If a statement is true refresh parent page ?>
[/PHP]

Hi,
The problem you have here is that PHP runs on the server, and you want to execute a command on the client.

You will need to print out some javascript to refresh the parent frame.

something like this

window.parent.location.href = window.parent.location.href;

So try this.....

<?php
if(true){
?>
<script language="text/javascript">
window.parent.location.href = window.parent.location.href;
</script>
<?php
}else{
?>
<!--Do nothing-->
<?php
}
?>
