session & iframe

I have a site with an iframe. Booth, the site and the site in the iframe are checking $_SESSION["login"]. So if the Session gets expiered the user will be logged out.

Problem: When the user hangs around the site for some time and the session gets expiered the login-page will appear in the iframe. (for example he clicks a link with target="iframe") I want the login-page to appear in the parent.

Possible?

try this:

<?php 
   if(!isset($_SESSION["login"]))
   {
?>
<script>
   if(self.location.href != top.location.href){
       top.location = '/login.php';
   }
</script>
<?php
   }
?>

Add a check to your login page wheter or not it is loaded inside the iframe, like so:

var isInIFrame = (window.location != window.parent.location) ? true : false;

If it evaluates to true, try reloading the page in the top window, like so:

window.top.location.href="/login.php"

If session expire time is not mandatory, why not set the session to not expire until the browser is closed?

<?php ini_set("session.gc_lifetime","0"); ?>

this setting sets that the session will not expire until the browser is closed. If you have access to php.ini you can set that to default

If you can use Javascript, use top to access the top parent page, and for instance redirect it to the login page.
