How to Change External Links: PHP Iframe

IFRAME is a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) element that allows a Web page to be split into segments. These segments can be viewed using a Web browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Opera. PHP is a server-side scripting language that is typically used in conjunction with HTML on database-driven Web applications and dynamic websites. You can change the PHP IFRAME external link by using Microsoft Windows Notepad.

Instructions

1. Right-click on the file in which the IFRAME is present. Click on "Open with" followed by "Notepad," which will open the file in Microsoft Windows Notepad.

2. Press "Ctrl" and "F" on your keyboard, which will bring up a "Find" dialog box.

3. Enter the following syntax into the text field: "IFRAME src=." Press "Enter" on your keyboard. This will find the source PHP file that the IFRAME is referencing. An example of the HTML syntax is as follows:

   <IFRAME src="yourpage.php" width="500" height="500" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1">

4. Replace the PHP file that the IFRAME is referencing. In the example in Step 3, the IFRAME is referencing "yourpage.php." This is what you need to change. An example of this change is as follows:

   <IFRAME src="newlink.php" width="500" height="500" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1">

5. Press "Ctrl" and "S" on your keyboard to save the file. Exit Windows Notepad.
