To change the content of an iframe on the server side, you would typically need to dynamically generate the content of the iframe based on the server-side data. This can be achieved using server-side scripting languages such as PHP, ASP.NET, Node.js, etc.
Here is a general guide on how to change the content of an iframe on the server side using PHP as an example:
- Create a PHP file that will generate the content for the iframe. This file can contain HTML, CSS, and any necessary PHP code to dynamically generate the content.

// iframe_content.php <?php // Get data from the server, for example from a database $data = "Hello, World!"; // Generate the HTML content for the iframe echo "<h1>$data</h1>"; ?> |
- In the parent HTML file, define the iframe element with a source attribute pointing to the PHP file.

<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Change iframe content on server side</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="iframe_content.php"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
|
When the parent HTML file is loaded in a web browser, the iframe will display the content generated by the PHP file. You can modify the PHP file to dynamically generate different content based on server-side data or user input.
Remember to configure your server to process PHP files if you are using PHP. This can usually be done by installing a server-side scripting engine like PHP and configuring your web server to handle PHP files.
