Running batch file on client side

[andytan91]

Hi guys, basically my current situation is that the client will need to run the audit services batch file from the web server.

 

My problem is that although the code below executed successfully, the .bat batch file outputs the result of the server's side computer configuration. I would like it to output the service result of the client side because i want to audit the client side and not the web server side.  How do i go about doing that?

 

<?php
echo exec('cmd /c 4.1_services.bat');
?>

 

Contents of batch file

@echo off

Actually i have another method which is using Force Downloading but however, my project requires me to auto run the batch file when the user saves the script....how do i go about doing that?

 

<?PHP
// Define the path to file
$file = '4.4_File_Permission.bat';


if(!file)
{
     // File doesn't exist, output error
     die('file not found');
}
else
{

     // Set headers
     header("Cache-Control: public");
     header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
     header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
     header("Content-Type: application/bat");
     header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: ASCII");
    
     // Read the file from disk
     readfile($file);

}
?>

How do i go about doing that?

 

Cannot be done with php. You would need to use either a Java applet, or an ActiveX control of some sort.

 

PHP runs on the server.
