Changing frame location

[sake]

I have a script running in a frame. This script needs to be able to redirect the browser to an entirely different location. However, with the header("locatio n: ") method, only that frame's source is changed. How would I redirect the browser away from those frames?

Use a JavaScript function and issue

top.frames['thatframe'].location.href = 'yourpage.htm';

where 'thatframe' is the name of the frame you want it to be redirected.

Ok, but this is conditional based on some PHP variable. How do i get it only to issue that command when that PHP if statement passes?

Show your php code that does the redirect. And enclose it within code tags.

Well its pretty simple. So far its just
[php]
if($myVar==$tar get){
header("Locatio n: http://my.server.com") ;
}
[/php]
But this code is running in a frame, so the redirection only applies to that frame's source, instead of the browser itself.

Hope that makes sense...

Kinda stuck here :(
Any suggestions?

Have you tried this one:[php]<?php
if($myVar==$tar get){
?>
<script>
top.frames['thatframe'].location.href = 'yourpage.php';
</script>
<?php
exit;
}
?>[/php]Ronald
