So i have looked over quite a few post on here that all have check marks saying they got it to work and for some unknown reason i cant get it to function properly. Here is my code:
Page 1: (All this works fine the way it is besides sending the post to the iframe)
<iframe name="videoIframe" src="<?php echo $q . '/' . 'videos.php'?>"
height="200px" width="740px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="overflow:
hidden;"></iframe>
<form action="<?php echo $q . '/' . 'videos.php' ?>" method="post"
target="videoIframe">
<input type="text" name="ytlink" id="ytlink" placeholder="example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw3lkPIDWBo" required>
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit" method="post">
</form>
Page 2: (Iframe on parent page)
<?php
$_POST['ytlink'] = $YT;
$file_data = "<iframe class='ytvideos' src='" . $YT . "?controls=0'
frameborder='0' allow='autoplay' allowfullscreen></iframe>" . "
";
file_get_contents('videos.txt');
file_put_contents('videos.txt', $file_data);
?>
Can anyone see what im doing wrong here? Its driving me nuts, i have asked many questions on here that have been very helpfully answered or pointed me in the right direction but i really did check similar post on here and other sites. No solution check marked has worked for me yet. Hopefully you all can see something I am not seeing. (Security isn't important for this site at all so any method you know would be greatly appreciated. P.S: I have no backend database as of now.)
Hi just from a quick look, shouldn't $_POST['ytlink'] = $YT; be $YT= $_POST['ytlink'];. If I'm getting the wrong end of the stick just try debugging it one step at time, I find echoing the variables is a good way to start.
