PHP - Break out of a frame

Question

Is there a way to break out of a frame using PHP? I have done it with JavaScript, but I would really prefer to use PHP instead. Thank you.

Answer 1

Frames are a client-side issue. Javascript is the solution, because it is a client-side scripting language that has awareness of the browsing context. Frames are meaningless on the server-side.

So, only client-side code can do this. Not PHP.

Answer 2

PHP is server-side. It merely generates the HTML for a page. As such there is no way for it to determine whether its output is being shown in a frame.

The best PHP can do for you is outputting the Javascript code to break out of a frame.
