AW: [PHP-WIN] Double Click file to have it open in Windows Explorer

Hi Malte, this is kind of a fine idea you have. Let me suggest the following as execute.php: <?php if (!isset($_GET['path'])) { exit("No path specified."); } else { $path = $_GET['path']; } $yourroot = "PHP/"; $path = str_replace("\\", "/", $path); $path = str_replace("//", "/", $path); $pos = strpos($path, $yourroot); $pos += (strlen($yourroot)); header('Location: http://localhost/'.substr($path, $pos)); ?> There is one little caveat with your approach: it won't work with pathnames containing spaces. This is not cured by double quotes around the parameter because when starting it will become $_GET['path'] and as such is not allowed to contain spaces. btw. you don't even have to fire up regedit for that: Explorer has a menu entry (in german it's Ansicht - Ordneroptionen - Dateitypen, should be "View - Folder options - File types" or so in english version) that is good for adding any click action to any file type you want: just sort out the file type (.PHP will usually not be listed if you don't use an IDE that makes use of this feature). So use button "New type" or "Edit" as appropriate. In the "New type" case fill in description (will go into the selection list of the "file types" dialog) and MIME type (e.g. text/html). In any case press the "New" button to add an action. Put "Thru the web" into the action field and the launch command >"C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome >"http://localhost/execute.php?path=%1" into the second. Here you can navigate to the appropriate folder. The content of the first field will show up in the pop up menu when right clicking a file with this extension. Don't select "use DDE". Click Ok to get back to "Edit type" dialog. You may add your favorite editor here too (and bulks of Browsers for preview purposes and ...). To specify the response to double clicking select the desired option in the list and click the "Standard" button. The action will show up in bold. If you have PHP-GTK.EXE at hand you can even associate the php logo to php files: click "Other" next to the shown symbol and navigate to PHP-GTK.EXE It contains a pure PHP logo. Select it and from that point on all .PHP files will be associated with the logo. (Does anybody know of another source for a PHP.ICO ?) -- Sven > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: malte [SMTP:der_diggen@gmx.net] > Gesendet am: Mittwoch, 14.
