My client needs an iframe on his page to load samples of his PHP scripts. He also wants it stretchable to any size if the window is not maximized. I haven't worked with iframes in years and would have no idea how to code them to stretch.

I am not sure you can. They are normally a fixed pixel size.

Iframes cannot be stretched by the user, but this question has been asked here before if you do a little searching, i believe faken was one of the people who finally solved the problem.

Yeah I've been trying to convince them to not go with iframes. Apparently they sent me this site with a stretchable iframe. I haven't examined the code yet though.

Edit: looks like to me you can just use some CSS to code the iframe's width to 100% or whatever percentage you need.

Interesting.. but I still hate iframes.
#module {
	border: 2px solid #8A8A8A;
	width: 95%;
	margin: 0px auto;
}

#module iframe {
	display: block;
	width: 100%;
	height: 500px;
	
}
<div id="module"><iframe id="frame_module" name="frame_module" FRAMEBORDER=0 src="./modules/home.php"></iframe></div>
