Re: href links not working in XP

Sure, here is the main function and the function that sends the files/links to the browser. This works fine on two w2k machines, but not on our XP machine. If I place the mouse pointer over the link on the web page it shows correct in the IE status bar. Example:( file:///c:/suncosys/act/2d/file_name.vc6 ) I have never got the links to work using Firefox. I am interested how you made that work! I am running version 1.5 beta 1. [snip] /********************************************************************** * main function **********************************************************************/ <?php

     $wd_path = $_GET['directory'];
     if($wd_path == "") $wd_path = "c:/suncosys"; // default directory if non passed
     echo "<h2>".$wd_path."</h2>"; // display directory trail
     query_dirs($wd_path); // this queries and displays the directories
     echo "<hr>";
     $file_array = query_files($wd_path); // queries the CAD files for internal info name and desc.
     asort($file_array); // sort array
     reset($file_array); // reset array pointer
     echo "<table cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\" border=\"2\">";
     display_files($file_array);
     echo "</table>";

?> [/snip] Following is the function that displays the files/links. [snip] /********************************************************************** * pass an associated array of files and descriptions **********************************************************************/ function display_files($file_array) { // display files while(list($files,$desc) = each($file_array)) {

     $file_path = $files; // get the absolute path
     $file_name = basename($file_path); // strip the file name
     $file_type = strpos($file_name, ".vc6"); // test for correct file extension
     echo "<tr>"; // table row
     if($file_type == True) {
        echo "<td><img src=\"/icons/small/graphitelogo.gif\" alt=\"[FILE]\">";
     } else {
        echo "<td><img src=\"/icons/small/unknown.gif\" alt=\"[FILE]\">";
     }
     echo "<a href=\"".$file_path."\">".$file_name."</a></td>";
     if($file_type == True) {
        echo "<td>".$desc."</td>";
     }
     echo "</tr>";

} } // end of display_files function [/snip] David Bevan wrote:

Would it be possible to see your code for this? I have had similar problems within firefox but never within IE. Regards, David */Marlin Unruh <mwu@suncosys.net>/* wrote:

    I apologize because I posted this question earlier under Re: [PHP]
    href
    difference between OS's, and am still struggling with the problem. I
    think I have fished all the way around the lake, with no results.

    I cannot get href links to local files to work on an XP machine. The
    exact script that is creating the links works perfectly on two W2K
    machines. On the XP machine if I right click and select print, the
    given
    file will load in the application as desired, but a print dialog
    box is
    also opened. If I right click and select open nothing happens,
    same as
    if I just left click the link. I have added an AddType in the Apache
    conf file, but no change. I have looked at the IE security settings,
    nothing. The file mime type is set because I can use the file
    explorer
    and clicking on a desired file and the application will run and
    load the
    file for editing.
