text in an iframe with php

Question

So I think I'm missing something on terms of iframes. If run this line of php code:

 echo"<iframe>sometext</iframe>";

The iframe shows up, but the text doesn't. Is there a way of doing this that works?

What are you trying to accomplish? iframes are used to include another HTML document or page within your page. You need to include an src attribute and define the location of the page you want to include. — Andrew

You don't put text between IFRAME tags. Instead, put the text you want in the page in a separate document, and use <iframe src="otherdocument.html"></iframe>.

If what you want is for some text to show up in a separate, scrollable frame, you could also use a DIV with the appropriate style settings (set an absolute or percentage height and width, and set overflow to scroll).

This is not a good practice, but when you set some content, you have to set the iframe width and height

<iframe src="somefile" width="99" height="99></iframe>
