Please help... I need to read a PHP variable in an iframe and am completely stuck.

I have a page with an iframe in it. Inside this iframe is a variable. I need to use this variable in the main page. How in the world do I read it out of there?

I am using sessions in the inside page, but it does not seem to work. I am really stuck. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

It depends entirely on where the script generating the iframe's content is in relation to the script generating the iframe itself. Given that sessions are not working for you, I assume they are on different servers, or at least different cookie domains?

Hmm... they are on the same server, but in different folders. I would not think that these would have different cookie domains.

So I JS'd my way out of this situation. I'm reading it out with getElementById.
