Re: Re: Is this possible with php

Yeah, you can't do the local computer file moving and all that with the same script as your server side component, but if you'd rather not learn C# or another language like that, but you're comfortable with PHP, I'd highly recommend checking out Winbinder (http://www.winbinder.com). Assuming your clients are all windows machines. PHP is very powerful, it's just cumbersome to get a non-tech person to use a typically shell oriented language to do things on the client's machine. Winbinder provides a merging of PHP and Windows' native API. Takes a little getting used to at first, but works great. -TG = = = Original message = = = PHP can do this, but you'd need it set up on each of the client computers and periodically run to check the temp folder and perform the upload. That's what any other application that can do similar does. Cheers, Rob.
