Use URL parameter to build IFrame?

Question

i want to have an iframe, which displays the page given as parameter in the url. I'm using ASP.NET MVC4

so I wanna do something like this:

updated it... but still not right i think

 <?php
 if(!isset($_GET['link']){
 $link = $_GET['link'];}
 ?>

<iframe name="inlineframe" src="<?php $link ?>" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"          width="500" height="180" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5" ></iframe>

but i can't figure out the right code for this. can anyone help?

I also tried echoing php, but that doesnt seem to work for me.

Agreed with Sergey. However, I do hope you have a good reason to use iframes at all... Because they're pretty terrible. — Tino van der Laan

The problem with your code snippet is this:

src="<?php $link ?>"

You're calling the variable, but doing nothing with it

To write the variable in the src attribute, use echo:

src="<?php echo $link ?>"

You should also remove the ! in your if statement

Try this:

 <?php
    $link = '';
    if(isset($_GET['link']){
        $link = $_GET['link'];
    }
 ?>

Also echo your link variable. src="<?php echo $link; ?>"
