Can I Launch A Local .bat File With PHP?
I need to write small web app that can launch a few .bat files from a local machine.
Is this possible with PHP, or would javascript be a better option? All i need to do is select the file (some HTML) then have a button to execute.

Posting Local File Info To A Php File!
I have a script that I run locally and im trying to get the info to post to a php file so that I can view it in a browser. What I need to know is how to set up the receiving php to post it to the .html . Now I thought it went along the line of creating the php file and putting it on the root of the server then running the local script against a that php info file and it would dump the info to a browser but it wont work like that (I'm guessing cause it's a local script and not on the web) I know this line is sending it to the .php in that directory but I don't know how to set up the receiving php I guess is my problem. gosub phpsend www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com /xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx.php %sendstring I guess what I need to know is whats the best way to post the received data to a browser after the script runs. Or to set up the receiving php file as for outputting it I can create the page I just need to know how to receive it .
Writing To A Local File
We have a PHP/MySQL database application. A user would like to be able to run a routine to read selected data from the database and export a flat file to their local C: drive. After reviewing the documentation and posts, it is not clear how to do this, or even if it is allowed by the browser. If someone could point us in the right direction, we would greatly appreciate it. The application is hosted on a Linux server. The users are required to use Internet Explorer running on Windows 2000 or XP (we also use VBScript).
Reading Local File Not On Server

How To Process A Local File Rather Than Just Read It
I can read a local file with fopen("myFile.php"); However this gives me the source of the file (i.e. php code). I want to get the results of the file after it has been evaluated (i.e. HTML). The obvious way of doing this is include 'myfile.php' However, I want to process the evaluated result. For example: echo htmlentities( include 'myfile.php' ); This doesn't work because the result of the include statement is true or false rather than a string. I'm sure this is very simple, but I'm just learning.
Launch Recording From PHP
I'm working on a small web-script that would allow me to remotely setup recordings to my tv-tuner (on my linux box). The idea is simple, but I'm unsure how to accomplish it. The idea: Using PHP generated www-page user could set mencoder to start recording at some specified time. The command is put to the crontab using linux "at" command. Problem is that I don't think it is an good idea to grant www-data user (that runs apache/php process) to tinker with audio and video hardware. Even worse idea is to grant www-user rights to use "at" command. I use mysql database to store some recording information and thus I could use mysql TRIGGER-functionality to put the recording command to crontab, however at that case I should give mysql user video and audio priviledges. Again - not so good. Can anybody give an good advice how to do this wihtout dangering system security?

So basically what I'm trying to do is this: If ($var == 1) { Launch http://www.google.com in new window; } Else { Launch http://www.yahoo.com in new window; } What would be the proper coding for this? I know how to do the rest, just don't know what the command for launching a new webpage would be.
Writing A Local XML File From A Parsed URL? Similar To RSS
I am trying to pull the XML data from the following stream: http://......and write it to a local file. Actually, what I would like to do is take the above stream and display it into a website... much like displaying RSS feeds on a webpage. I looked at javascript, but someone there pointed me to the PHP group. I may not have worded the subject correctly.

MSWord Launch From A Link
I am storing uploaded Word Documents in a directory and I want to be able to click on a link on a web-page, and view one of them. But when I click on the link, my browser (IE5) attempts to read it and I get a load of nonsense on the screen. ( Although I can just make out bits of the document!) This is my code - 1. After uploading, I have this: if (!copy($cv, "cvs/cv".$cid) ) { echo("Problems encountered receiving your CV. However your application will still be processed.");}
PHP-generated Link To Local File Doesn't Work When Clicked On. Why?
I'm running an Apache server on my own computer (Windows XP Pro). I wrote a simple PHP script (called test3.php) that I'm running by putting the following URL in the address bar of the browser (Firefox) .... http://localhost/test3.php The script generates the following link using the echo statement ... <a href="file:///C:/pictures/xyz.jpg"> Picture </a> ("C:/pictures/xyz.jpg", as you can guess by now, is an image file on my harddrive, but it's not in the document root). When I clicked on the link, nothing happened. However, if I RIGHT-click on it and select "Copy link location" (which copies the URL to the clipboard) and then paste the URL into the address bar of the browser, the picture then displays correctly. Why did it not work when I clicked on the link the first time, but it only worked when I pasted the link to the address bar? Is there some special notation/syntax that I need to use to get this to work properly?
How To Populate HTML Table From Local Text File.
I am looking for a way to populate an HTML table from an external local text file which looks like this: DATE/TIME LAT. LON. DEPTH. ML. -------------------- ---------- ---------- ------- ------- 21/03/2005-04:06:03 XX,XX XX,XX 171 3,42 21/03/2005-12:23:53 XX,XX XX,XX 500 5,4 21/03/2005-12:43:10 XX,XX XX,XX 553 5,38 21/03/2005-18:47:51 XX,XX XX,XX 162 3,91 21/03/2005-19:29:49 XX,XX XX,XX 500 3,51 21/03/2005-20:04:51 XX,XX X,X 75 3,72 The file could have more rows (DATA) that I show here. The file is provided to me on a daily basis and I have to update a web page daily with the contents of the file. I considered using JavaScript embedded in the HTML page but I am a newbie on what scripting for the web it refers. How can I populate the HTML table with this text file which changes everyday. Also, is it possible to use php client-side only, without a server?
Launch A Background Task From A PHP Script?
For example, when a user posts on my message board, it may fire many e-mail notifications to other users, and other tasks. I want the posting confirmation page to end displaying quickly, without waiting for those notifications or other tasks to complete. So basically what I want is to launch 'background.php' from 'main.php', with the user seeing only the output of - and waiting only for the end of - 'main.php'. Without the need to wait for the end of the possibly long 'background.php', like if I had simply included it in 'main.php'. According to the PHP Manual, the function register_shutdown_function() was the solution "in PHP 4.0.6 and earlier under Apache", but "since PHP 4.1 the shutdown functions are called as the part of the request" so that PHP waits until the shutdown functions are completed before closing the connection to the user. E.g. in PHP 4.1+ this <?php function background () { echo 'Starting background task... ' // Do something long that I don't want the user to see or wait for sleep(5); echo 'End of background task. ' } echo 'Starting main script... ' register_shutdown_function('background'); echo 'End of main script. ' ?> will output: Starting main script... End of main script. Starting background task... End of background task. I want a way to output only: Starting main script... End of main script.
Problem To Launch A Program With System()
I wrote a JAVA program which uses the JAVA API JDOM 1.0 (of this site www.jdom.org) I put the archive jdom.jar in the directory /usr/share/java/jdom.jar and I added this path in the CLASSPATH variable. The program runs normally when I launch it in a unix shell. Now, I want to launch this JAVA program in a PHP program with system() function for example. I have an Apache server with PHP 4 who runs. The variable safe_mode of PHP is at off. So, the program PHP can launch executable program. But, It doesn't because of CLASSPATH problem I think. So, to understand where is the problem I recuced my programs and this is the 2 programs : - program JAVA : import java.io.*; import org.jdom.*; import org.jdom.input.*; class TestSAX{ TestSAX() { } void instanciateSAXBuilder() { //On crée une instance de SAXBuilder try{ SAXBuilder sxb = new SAXBuilder(); System.out.println("Constructeur de SAX"); }catch(Throwable e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } }
Copying File From Hosted Remote Sever To Local Machine
I am trying to use php to automate the copying of a file from my remotely hosted directory to my computer. I have put together the following but it will only do the copying from one directory to another on the remote server. Reading the postings on these functions they suggest that it can be done but it appears to be the case if your are hosting your site on the same machine you want to copy the files to. Does anyone know if there are functions in php to do the transfer from remote server to my machine or if the code below will acheive this with modification? <?php $ftp_server = "xxxxxxxx"; $ftp_user = "xxxxxxx"; $ftp_pass = "xxxxxx"; $local_file = 'myfile.txt' $server_file = 'myfile.txt' // set up a connection or die $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass); // check connection if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { die("FTP connection has failed !"); } // try to change the directory to myfilesdirectory if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, "myfilesdirectory")) { echo "Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . ""; } else { echo "Couldn't change directory"; } if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) { echo "Successfully written to $local_file"; } else { echo "There was a problem"; } // close the connection ftp_close($conn_id);

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE - Workaround For Local-infile=0
I'm using a PHP script for updating my database which relies on the "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" command. As my provider recently updated the MySQL-database, he changed the "local-infile" setting to zero, i.e. my update-script doesn't work anymore (=> "The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version"). Is there a work-around to fix this problem? I though about the mysql_options command, but to frankly speaking, I have no clue how to use it and couldn't figure out how to properly use it even after reading the manual ... anyone who could help?

Local Fsockopen()
I am tring to develop a site that conects via sockets. I am doing the development on a localhost Apache server here's a small code example:- <?php $host="127.0.0.1"; $socket=fsockopen($host,80,$errno,$errstr,50); if(!$socket){echo "NO CONNECTION".$errno.$strerror;} else { fputs ($socket, "GET/apache/htdocs/phpinfo.php HTTP/1.1"); $info='' while (!feof($socket)) { $info.=fgets($socket,1024);} fclose ($socket); echo $info; I'm having a problem with the fputs() line. After the GET/ sataement I am trying to direct he socket to a file, so I will be able to read/write but the fputs() doesn't seem to accept any path I put into it. The socket works ok because If I leave out the path I am sent o the apache intro page on my localhost.
Local Variables
I am running a virtually hosted domain on a server that I have root access on also. I rented the server, but the hosting company supply no information on the setup. I'm forced into using their control panel to add domains. Running a phpinfo() on a virtual domain I have found that although I have set safe_mode to off in the php.ini file something is setting the local value for safe_mode to On. There are no .htaccess files in the heirachy of folders to the virtual domain. I've checked the <virtual hosting> directives in the httpd.conf and I cant see anything there that might be doinng this.
PHP On Local Machine
Back in 2004 I installed PHP, Apache and MySQL on my local machine to do some testing. I have not used it since. I just tried to browse one of my .php test files in IE and it opened up in Dreamweaver! Everything seems to be in place where I left it, I restarted Apache just in case - but no joy. Is there something simple that I have forgotten to do? - something I should have started up? - or something I can check? I would like to avoid reinstalling the software if possible as I recall having a few "teething problems."

LAMP On A Local Network
I'm new to all this and I am trying to set up a web sever over a local network. I currently have two boxes attached via a switch. Box 1 is configured with windowsXP and the other with Fedora3. The linux box has Apache installed and appears to be running ok. When I use IE to access the site I get the response : "Page cannot be displayed" or "The web page you requested is not available offline" depending what is entered in the address control. On the Linux box, if I use the command netstat -atn, this shows a host 192.168.123.10 listening on port 80 In the terminal window on the XP box, (192.168.123.12) when I ping 192.168.13.10 I get a successful response. If I telnet 192.168.123.10 80 I get "could not open connection to the host on port 80:connect failed" Does anybody have any suggestions /commands that will help me resolve this. Also does anyone have a link to a good article recommending a development set-up that includes the physical configuration as well as development tools for a first timer.

Converting UTC To Local Time
My PHP connects with a postgresql database and fetches the last login information of type "timestamp with time zone". The database returns this value: 2007-08-06 19:05:14.551719-06, but the actual time I have right now is 9:05:14 PM. I assume the time given by the database is in UTC. Now, how do I convert this to respect the local time of the user seeing this? For example, I am located in eastern time zone and I should be seeing 9:07:14 PM, but someone in central time zone should be seeing 8:05:14 PM. Is there a PHP code that can convert this time into the local time of the current user viewing the time depending on his geographical location?
