Redirect inside a Frame

I have this code

header('Location: index.php')

which redirects putting the "index.php" page in the "_parent" window. I need it to go in the "content" frame. How would that work?

Hi,
I don't think this can be solved by using only php.
I usually use some javascript to solve it. Something like this:
if($doreload){
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
parent.frames['frmTop'].location.reload();
</script>
<?
}
?>

Hope it helps!
Cheers!

Not sure what this has to do with Databases so I've moved it to the PHP - Code forum.

MetaRefresh won't work.

And I don't know anything about javaScript.

Anymore ideas... Surely this can be done in PHP.

No it can't, it's not a php issue. The RFC does not supply a header to target the frame.

Is this action initiated by a link, if so just put the target of _parent on that link. Otherways either a meta-refresh or javascript is the only way.
