Different results for Iframe and php include

I'm trying to figure why a script I wrote is working in an IFrame but won't work as a php include.

The script is in one coded file. The user selects from the directory and the selection results in the page being submitted to itself. I built it as a form and the values needed for the second display are carried via hidden inputs in the form.

Each selection option is a select button through the following two lines of code -
$next_menu_url = "<input type='submit' class='btn' $mouseover value='$cat_name' name='B1'>";
$display_block{$actual_page} = $display_block{$actual_page}."<td ALIGN='CENTER'><font FACE='Small Fonts' SIZE='1'>$next_menu_url</font></td>";

Then the form starts with these lines

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action"<?php print $PHP_SELF ?>" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="SaveList">

and after the form is submitted to itself I check for the $Action vale with
}elseIf(isset($Action)){

That code is not picking up any value in $Action. if viewing the page with a include statement but is picked up if viewing the page through an Iframe.




Those values are carried fine in an IFrame but if I access the same page with php include the values aren't carried.

Perhaps it may make it clearer if I say the display page is created on website A (as a php script) from the db of site A. It is called from any number of remote websites (syndicate style). When called as an iframe it works fine if as a php include it doesn't.


I don't know if that is ennough info for anyone to know what the problem is.

include = server side
iframe = client side html

these are two different things and are not related to each other

ahhh ok. Just like with java script and php. That explains it! There is no easy tweak then - I have to rewrite it for php. Thanks Olaf - you just saved me a useless debugging attempt.
