Christian F. Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Are you going to launch this on the server, or do you want to start it on the client computer?

kicken Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Then the answer is no. PHP can't affect the client's PC, only the server computer. There isn't anything that would let you do such a thing with Javascript either as far as I am aware.

kicken Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You would use something like exec() to run the appropriate command. For my windows 7 setup it seems to be the c:\windows\system32\wfs.exe program that you would run.
