Yes, easy enough with Javascript.
Without Javascript, things get a lot more complicated (and I will not
discuss them here.)

Try reposting your question in comp.lang.javascript for detailed
description.

The idea is:
- Add a function to the event pressing the submitbutton.
(eg make it a button, and add onClick, or use onSubmit)
- read all the values from the form
val1 = document.forms.myinnerframeform.firstname.value;
val2 = document.forms.myinnerframeform.street.value;
etc.

Now call a function in your other frame (mainpage)
parent.frames.mainwindow.getThis(val1,val2);

But it has nothing to do with PHP.
