Parsing HTML Files On Local Computer


I would like to be able to open and read HTML files that are on my local (client) computer and then parse them to extract some specific information they contain.

I've been looking here and reading my PHP books, but it appears to me that PHP only opens files on the server or URLs. It think that makes sense to me. Is there an alternative?

Hyperlink From Intranet Web Page To Local Files On My Computer
I'm creating a company intranet, and every employee has certain
program we want them to be able to run from it, meaning we want the
link to the program to be on the intranet page. For example, Adobe
Photoshop resides on all the employees computer under "C:Program
FilesAdobePhotoshop 7.0Photoshop.exe"

However, when I enter that as a hyperlink on the page, it does not run
the program.

Is there a way to get a web page to run a program on the local host?

Parsing Html Files
I have a new server and the company doesn't seem to understand what I need. I need to run php code on a html page. I've created an htaccess file and tried each of the following directives inside of it...

AddType application/x-httpd-php htm html

AddHandler server-parsed .html .htm

AddType x-mapp-php4 .html .htm

(they were tried one at a time)

The script output still does not appear. Is there a feature, funtion or option that would prevent the htaccess file from not working? Is there something in Apache that needs to be configured?

I know this possible because it worked with my old hosting company several times. I don't know how and they don't offer support for servers other than their own. I need the page extention to be .html not .php so changing the pages to .php is a non-option. What needs to happen in order to parse html files as php?

What i am trying to do is to make a PHP script which will send a simple

Is it possible to send form data to Excel sheet on local computer? Even

Writing Files To Local Machine
Does anyone know how to, using PHP or other, to automatically write files from a mySQL database on a server to a local machine? Basically the reason I need it, is that the database will be continually getting new data from various users, and I want the information to be copied to a local file on my own computer every 15 minutes or so (just continually rewriting the file on my local machine, with the newest data). This way, if there is a server error, or internet connectivity issues, I will still always be able to access the latest data by opening the file on my local machine.

Link To Local Files Through A Dynamic Page
I decided to flesh out my php skills by building a web application
which could scan through local files on my intranet (specifically
mapped drives on my server) and generate a list of Movies or pictures
or music, etc. Which worked fine, I created the code to do that and to
store the results in a mysql database. I can even print it out to a
..php page and sort it however I like.

What I can't seem to do is to create links to the data I've indexed in
a way that will let me open them from the generated php page. I've
searched and searched and there just doesn't seem a way to do this.
I'm pretty sure I've exhausted the obvious options.

The following trials did not work when the document was served from an
apache web server.

<?php
echo "<h1><a href=file:///c:/temp.txt> HEY </a></h1>";
echo "<h1><a href=file:///c: emp.txt> HEY </a></h1>";
?>
<a href=file:///c: emp.txt target="_top"> temp.txt </a>
<a href=file:///c:/temp.txt target="_top"> temp.txt </a>

When the same page was loaded directly from the file instead of served
through apache the bottom two links worked. This doesn't really help
me however. I need to be able to dynamicly generate pages that link to
the files.

I've read that browser security is the restricting factor in this but
changing all of my security settings in IE to low didn't seem to affect
it (not sure what the equivalent of security settings is in Firefox).
Does anyone know of a way to link to local files directly in a way that
lets you open them directly from the source instead of by downloading
them to a temp file or saving the file to somewhere locally? Is it
even possible in PHP?

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

21/03/2005-20:04:51 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?

Save Html-forms Data To Local Disk?
A question on html-forms:

We have an application where users will get a CD with,
among other things, some html-forms for them to fill in.
When they click the submit-button, the data is transferred
to a webserver php-script that will then process the info.
The forms-definition looks something like this:

<form action="http://www.ourdomain.com/receiver.php" method="post">
<p>Question 1:
<p><textarea name="reply01" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea>
<p>Question 2:
<p><textarea name="reply02" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea>
<p>Question 3:
<p><textarea name="reply03" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea>
... etc ...
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit answers!">
</form>

Now, my concern is (since there might be quite a lot of data filled in),
if e.g. the internet-connection for some reason is broken
at the moment when the user clicks the submit-button,
there is a risk they will lose all the text and would have to re-type it,
which I would like to avoid, of course.

How can I best solve this issue?

Ideally, I would like to store the info on their local C: drive
before submitting, and automatically retrieve the text if they
later return to the page, but I guess that's not possible from
an html doc, right?

If so, any other suggestions how to resolve this issue?

Parsing Files
I encountered the concept of templates and parsing files. For example: sometimes when you search a site, and when you visit links that the engine returned you found your query highlighted inside the text. Very nice. They parsed the file you requested and put some nice formatting around all occurences of your querystring.

I would like to apply it different, more in a sense of:
you enter a URL in the address bar, and this file is parsed before it is shown to you.
An application would be:all e-mail addresses inside the file are replaced by mailto:hyperlinksall static hyperlinks inside the file are replaced by real hyperlinks etc.

A normal php-file at my site looks like:

- php-include (html: header)
- text: html formatted
- php-include (html: footer)

How can I achieve that when this file is loaded all occurences of some kind (stored in an array containing all needles) are handled in some way to show appropriate hyperlink-formatting before it is presented to the user.
(much like a dictionary: words in the text can be references and are explained elsewhere).

It is required that the text stays the same and the file can be loaded stand-alone (without querystrings).

XML Parsing And HTML Comments
I find myaelf writing a template system (yeah, I know - but there is a

of code written like:

<script type='text/javascript>
<!--
alert("hello world');
// -->
</script>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
..style1 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;

expat doesn't. I tried adding a non-parsed handler, but still can't see it.
