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?

Dynamic Web Page Link
I want to create a simple dynamic page where when i click on a link to automatically create the page. What i mean.. I have some news that display by date, and because they will be updated every day i don't want to create a page for each one of these. So when the user goes to the index page of the news(where the news are displayed by date) and clicks on one, I want the php do all the job and create a new web page where it will add the hole text of the "new" the user selected in a page template. How do i do that? Can i use the dreamweaver templates?

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?

Dynamic Download Link - Not Direct File Link
I'm posting a podcast feed that makes reference to audio files for download. Instead of linking to the files directly (e.g. www.mywebsite.com/podcast.mp3), I want to link to the file as get variables so that I can track number of listeners (e.g. www.mywebsite.com/?audio=podcast.mp3). Where would I look to get something like this to work? How do I start sending audio data to the user using a link like this?

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?

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.

Dynamic Link
"When the server starts TinCam also creates a file called 'ip.txt' wich contains the ip address. If your IP is dynamic (changes when you log on/off the internet) you can upload the ip.txt file with the On And Offline Upload function. You can use this file to create a dynamic link to your images or video stream, using a server-side scripting language like ASP or PHP." i need to make a dynamic link that so when the ip address to the server changes the link changes at the same time. that way i will always have the correct ip address.

Dynamic Link Help
I have made it so that it is possible to change the color scheme of my website by using a form (uses cookies). This also changes the links and their rollovers - the only problem is I cannot get the links to work. Im using CSS, Javascript and PHP/HTML to achieve what I have so far. Would it be possible to do this in just PHP/HTML and CSS i.e. have the style sheet variables change when the form is submitted on the PHP/HTML page and then have <a href> <a> tags and use mouseover and mouseout.

Dynamic Link/Content With PHP
I've created a mySQL database with the fields id, title and content. 'ID' is a unique field. Any ideas on how I can use PHP to generate a list of the titles which are links. When you click on a link you are taken to a page with the content held in the database. I'm guessing the generated links would be something like /page.PHP?pageid=x based on the id, that's if this script is possible at all.

A Link That Updates Dynamic Data
What I'm trying to do is have a webpage that updates the dynamic data from a database based on what links are chosen on the left side of the page. - On one side of the page is a list of links. (ie: potato, carrot, apple...) - On the other side of the page is a bunch of dynamic data that connects to a MySQL database. Depending on what is chosen on the left side of the page, it will show the user that information from the database on the right side. Example: If you click on the apple link, it pulls the apple row out of the database and presents a picture of an apple, gives some information on an apple, etc. I don't think this is very hard but I don't see it in any of the books I have, and have never done it before. Can someone help point me in the right direction or tell me how this is done?

Using Preg_replace To Add Rel="nofollow" To A Link Based If Its Not The Local Domain?
I am trying to use preg_replace to add rel="nofollow" to a link and am having a difficult time with it due to my regexp abilities. The way I am currently doing it is i read the string into a variable and then explode with <a href=. I then compare each array element for whether or not it contains my domain and if it does not then i do the preg replace. I am sure there is an easier way of doing it, but I do not know how. Can i just use a regexp in preg_replace to conver the string if and only if the domain portion does not match a certain string?

IP Address From Log Files Looks Dynamic With Same Visit.
The log files for my web site have visitor's IP address where the third and fourth columns change for the same visit. I thought that for a dynamic IP address it was supposed to remain fixed until they disconnected from the Internet - not change or rotate during the visit. I'm not an expert at reading log files but it looks like the third and fourth columns will change for the log file lines even for just one page. Are the changing IP addresses caused by a web bot or does the IP address sometimes change during the visit for real visitors?
