dmikester1 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hello, I am wondering if there is any way with PHP to get a list of the processes running on the client that hits the PHP server script. If that is not possible, is there a way I have have my PHP script do an 'exec' call on something that will do it?

jim_keller Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 This would be a huge security risk and is not possible with out having the client explicitly install a third-party app like a Java applet or an ActiveX control.

dmikester1 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'll explain a little more detail about what I'm doing. I have created a php/mysql app with a powerpoint link and a quiz link. The quiz is an online(php/mysql) quiz. The user will go through the powerpoint and then take the quiz. I want to only allow them to visit that quiz link if the powerpoint file is closed. Is there any way I can do this?

Psycho Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Is there any way I can do this? In short no. I assume the PowerPoint is a prepatory document for the test and they are not supposed to refer to it during the test. Even if you could ensure they close the document or only made the content avaiable in a web page, you couldn't prevent the user from copying the content or taking screen captures of it.

ignace Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Is there any way I can do this? Yes, but this will only work with IE and you'll also need a good dose of VBA to pull it off.
