    I'm a newb to php, but I'm having a lot of fun learning it.

    Here's the deal.

    I'm making a tool that allows a visitor to enter a URL for a specific purpose. The code for this is all done and working. However, I would like to display the specific URL they entered in something resembling an iframe. An inline dynamic thumbnail of the URL entered. My problem is that when I use the iframe option the page inside displays at its normal height and width, as if it had been loaded in a full size browser window. In my searching, I have not found an option for limiting the size of rendered content within an iframe. The height / width tags only change the size of the iframe itself, not the content.

    Is anyone aware of a php option, or method I could use to achieve my desired results? I would really like to have the display act almost as an image, with no scrolling and no active links. (don't want people to use the frame as a browser)

    Any ideas or help would be great,

    Thank you all for reading.

    I don't think their is any other way to load other websites in your page except iframe and frames.
