Question

I am building an IFrame for the first time and trying to make a widget.

What I am trying to do is let people pass a hike id and then display on a google map everything that happened on that hike. Right now I am just starting to get into how to make this a widget.

I need to pass the hike id variable into the widget, but I am not sure how, or whether things are done this way.

What I have now is one page called widget.php with this code:

<blink>
        <iframe src="hike_widget.php" width="100%" height="300">
    </iframe>
</blink>

And that is accessed by this URL:
http://www.comehike.com/outdoors/widget.php?type=hike&hike_id=108

And then called the hike_widget.php file which displays text. Is this the general way to do this? How do I pass the hike id from widget.php to hike_widget.php ?

Thanks,
Alex

Answer 1

You’d pass the hike_id like this:

<iframe src="hike_widget.php?hike_id=108" width="100%" height="300"></iframe>
