<?php
function getlink($x)
{
$y=$x.'.php';
return($y);
}

$a=array('0','1','2','3','4');
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
echo '<li><a href='.getlink($a[$i]).'>'.$a[$i].'</li>';
}
echo '<iframe src="">';
?>

when i click on the links instead of new tab it should be open in iframe

hi,

What you need is a javascript.

Ok, I will make an exemption ONLY this time.. next time, make sure to post question in the proper forum.

Step One: Create a php document

    <?php

        ## put your function here

        function getlink($x)
        {
        $y=$x.'.php';
        return($y);
        }

    ?>
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    <!-- set your iframe below You can add a default php page if your want-->
    <iframe id="myframe" src=""></iframe>
    <!-- call your php function and loop over items -->

    <?php
        $a=array('0','1','2','3','4');
        for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
        {

         echo '<a href="javascript:loadintoIframe(\'myframe\', \''. getlink($a[$i]) .'\')">'. $a[$i] .'</a><br/>';
        }

     ## close your php
     ?>



    <script type="text/javascript">
