php - how to change iframe different src after every 5 second

Question

i have tried following code but it could change on click, i want to change the iframe inner part after every 5 second interval.

<html>
 <body>
  <iframe id="foo"></iframe>
  <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" target="foo">This page</a>
 </body>
</html>

basically idea is that i have pages which will display inside of iframe, these 5 web pages will change after another after every 5 second interval.

thanks

Where is your attempt at changing the code? – Paul Dessert Dec 01 '12 at 01:55 — Paul Dessert, Dec 01 '12 at 01:55

This will do it:

var urls = ["http://www.google.com", "http://www.example.com"];
var i = 0;

function changeSrc() {
   if (urls.length > i) {
      document.getElementById("foo").src = urls[i];
      i++;
      setTimeout(function() {
         changeSrc();
      }, 5000);
   }
}
changeSrc();

var links = ["http://www.example.com/page","http://www.example.com/anotherpage"];
var i = 0;
var renew = setInterval(function(){
    document.getElementById("foo").src = links[i];        
    if(links.length == i){
        i = 0;
    }
    else i++;
},5000);
</script>
</head>

<body>
<iframe id="foo" src="http://example.com"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Important: Not all sites can be used within iframes. Be sure that the website you put in the links array allows to be used inside an iframe.
