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

Afterthought, adressing the spaces problem: Why even bother with HTML/Browser in the first step anyway ? Let's have IE_exec.php in the following manner: <?php $path_to_browser = "C:\WINDOWS\IEXPLORE.EXE"; // or anything else appropriate; eventually add options too // here you might need a lookup if you have virtual hosts $root_as_seen_from_web = 'htdocs/'; $server_name = 'localhost/'; // e.g.; maybe not the only one if (!isset($argv[1])) { exit("No path specified."); } else { $path = $argv[1]; } $path = str_replace("\\", "/", $path); $path = str_replace("//", "/", $path); // here you might need to associate another anchor if webname and fs-name are related otherwise // very comfortable would be scanning apaches conf file ... (howto get knowledge using IIS, PWS, ...?) $pos = strpos($path, $root_as_seen_from_web); $pos += (strlen($root_as_seen_from_web)); system("$path_to_browser http://$server_name$root_as_seen_from_web" . substr($path, $pos)); ?> Then launch it using PATH_TO_PHP-CLI.EXE\php-cli.exe "PATH_TO_IE_exec.php\IE_exec.php" "%1" in the execute field of folder options - file extensions - new action. Set up as many flavors as you are using browsers NS_exec.php, OP_exec.php. ... Then you have all of them at the right click of any .PHP ( and .HTML also!) file that is within reach of a (virtual) server on your machine. To add even more style you can set up a .PIF file specifying execution in minimized console window.
