frame or php include, and how?

[ketanco]

Hello,
In my main page, I am trying to show a poll as below. The poll file is called display_poll.php. I want it to appear only in the div poll_ai as below, just a small part of the whole page. But it doesnt show anything.
I tried everything written in comment tags too as below. It shows nothing.
By the way, the poll file form is like this:
echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"display_poll.php\" target=\"_self\" >";
so once user clicks submit, again it posts to itself. So, what I want is, it still should display this file as part of the main page, in that frame. I dont want it to open as a separate page, as it currently does if I did php inlude.

<div class="poll_ai">
<!--<frameset cols="100%,0%">
->

<iframe src="display_poll.php"></iframe>

<!--
<?php
//include("display_poll.php");
?>
-->
<!--
</frameset>
-->

</div>

<div class="poll_ai">
<iframe src="display_poll.php"></iframe>
</div>

For the form:

<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">

this works, thanks a lot. well not exactly how you wrote because the echo form statement was in php already, so here is how:

$a= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];


$aa=explode("/",$a);


$kat=$aa[1];


echo "<form method=\"post\" action=$kat target=\"_self\" >";

and i use php include, not I frame...for some reason, I can not get iframe to work....

if anybody knows a shortcut to this, I would like to see that too...

What has the frameset go to do with the problem?

The document display_poll.php must be a complete document to be loaded into an iframe, yet you apparently also load it into the parent document. This is wrong.
