Don't use frames. See:
http://webdevelopment.developersnetwork.com/Articles.asp?Article=120
You can do virtually everything in CSS that you can do in frames.
Otherwise, you can't do it with PHP. PHP runs server side; you need
something which runs client-side, like javascript. Something like this
should work (untested):
<script type="text/javascript">
if (self != top){
if (document.images)
top.location.replace(document.location.href);
else
top.location.href = document.location.href;
}
</script>

Pretty much the same problem, and a similar solution - javascript.
Maybe something like outputting the following in the code...
<body>
....
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open ("newwindow.php");
</script>
....
</body>

Of course, both of these methods fail if the user has javascript turned
off. It's one of the reasons I don't do either.
