RE: [PHP-WIN] Exec() again

Again, you can't do this. You can certainly make winamp execute on the server PC. To what end you'd want to do this I don't know. What u seem to want to do is force winamp to run on a users PC whenever they visit your webpage. This may seem harmless, but this ability would be a nightmare. Give this function to an unscrupulous person and they would force virii to run on the users PC instead of winamp. Again, you can't do this. PHP is entirely server side. All it can do is produce html data to send to a browser. The php calls are never seen by the user or the browser. Any sort of php function that could make the users pc do something wouldn't be php. It'd be html, xml, jscript etc. Sorry Ross -----Original Message----- From: Yaroukh [mailto:yaroukh@email.cz] Sent: 10 October 2001 12:55 To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] Exec() again Hi there Is anybody able to run an external application from PHP?
