Re: Launching local apps from PHP

"All" PHP does, is generates HTML code which is then interpreted by a browser - the only way you could make a program run on a client would be to either: 1. Use Java 2. Use Telnet (have an Telnet server on the 'client machine' and run a file, which would be very complex); i dont think PHP has native telnet commands.
