PHP question

Maybe this would have been better placed in the HowTo? section but as it isn’t specifically textpattern related I though I’d ask here.

PHP isn’t my forte so this may be trivial to do ….

Is it possible using PHP to detect if a web page has been loaded in a frame and if so, reload it without the frame?

I know this can be done client-side using Javascript but the frame-break doesn’t work if Javascript is disabled. It is also possible to bypass this using PHP if you have the right information. Hence I am looking for a server side solution.

Re: PHP question

There’s no reliable way to do this using any server-side language. That information simply isn’t available to the server.

You might be able to try something based on the referrer URL, but I wouldn’t count on it being reliable – probably less so than javascript.

Re: PHP question

Yep, JavaScript is the only way to do it, I’m afraid.

One thing you can do: if you get some sucker actually doing this, you can “fix their wagon” by using mod_rewrite. You could redirect referrers from that domain to a “you’ve stolen my site” page, etc. :)
