Dynamic iframe pages

Permalink
I've tried making a page that can load other web pages in an iframe, dynamically through the URL. Sounds simple enough using $_REQUEST['url'] in an iframe in a custom external form, but it isn't working. Here's what I've done...

The external form file:

<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
if (isset($response)) { ?>
   <?php echo $response?>
<?php  } ?>
<iframe src="<?php $_REQUEST['url'] ?>" scrolling="auto" height="1000" width="100%" frameborder=0 padding=5></iframe>


The URL passed to that page:

http://kzsc.org/index.php?cID=76&url=anything...

But yet the page only shows this in the code:

<iframe src="" scrolling="auto" height="1000" width="100%" frameborder=0 padding=5></iframe>

Any thoughts on how to make this actually work?

Thanks!

I put this in an external form block:

<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
if (isset($response)) { ?>
<?php echo $response?>
<?php } ?>
<iframe src="<?php
echo $_REQUEST['url'];
?>" scrolling="auto" height="1000" width="100%" frameborder=0 padding=5></iframe>

Thanks razorfrog for the quick response...

I used the code you've provided and as soon as I used it, I got the below error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function runTask() on a non-object in /home/content/85/6270085/html/c5/concrete/blocks/external_form/controller.php on line 67

And I'm not able to view the page where I added this code anymore..

You might be better off installing a PHP code block like this:
