But now I just don't see how this could work. How can we measure the height of content using php? Can you give a working example? I'm not sure how your $x and $y are used. (I've searched and searched, but all that comes up says measuring height with php is impossible, b/c PHP is server-side, so it can't calculate the height in a browser the way javascript could. It would seem the only way this might work is to use javascript to measure the height, then pass that to the php-if that's even possible.) I'd love to get this working. I've created embeddable iframe recipes that work like a charm, but can't yet get the iframe to resize to content height. (BTW, cool biking New Zealand video!)
