There is no 'true' way to launch all applications on the client in php. You could however make the client launch things like Word and Excel by sending the proper headers. But this may not work on all, ex if you send a header to simulate a Word document, and the client has OO set as the handler for *.doc, it's going to open OO and not MS Word. -- John C.
