What are the limitations of using PHP to determine the parent frame URL?

When using PHP to determine the parent frame URL, one limitation is that PHP is a server-side language and does not have direct access to client-side information like the parent frame URL. To overcome this limitation, you can use JavaScript to pass the parent frame URL to PHP using AJAX. 

// JavaScript code to get the parent frame URL and pass it to PHP using AJAX
<script>
    var parentFrameURL = window.parent.location.href;
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'get_parent_frame_url.php',
        data: {parentFrameURL: parentFrameURL},
        success: function(response) {
            console.log('Parent frame URL sent to PHP successfully');
        }
    });
</script>
```

```php
// PHP code in get_parent_frame_url.php to receive the parent frame URL
<?php
    $parentFrameURL = $_POST['parentFrameURL'];
    echo $parentFrameURL;
?>
