Psycho Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 You could only do this (with PHP) if the server can access the user's machine (i.e. the user's machine IS the web server or the web server is on the same network as the user). PHP/JavaScript cannot access local resources on a remote user's PC. This is by design. It would be a very bad thing if a web site could run executables on a user's machine. If this is needed for external users then you could probably do it by creating a custom Java clinet (NOT JavaScript). Not sure what the purpose of your app is, but many people are not willing to install these types of "plug-ins" as they can be very harmful.
