Hi all,

So close on this one.

I have an index.php that has an inline frame that shows the content of my website. I’m using a variable called page to define which page of content I want to show like so index.php?page=home.php. This is working great.

What I would like to do is read the page variable into my Flash menu that is located in home.php page contained within my iframe. If I use the $\_GET[‘page’] php code I get nothing because the variable is declared in the index.php page instead of the nested home.php page.

I hope this makes sense.
