flowingwindrider Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 What do you want to have happen after the folder is open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmunky Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 nothing in php..I have written something in php that searches for wav files in my local computer based on the user's input and the files found are then moved into my C://myfolder. after the files are moved, I want to be able to have a link on the browser that the user can click on that will open the myfolder instead of the user double clicking on My Computer, then on C: drive and then finally myfolder.

ToonMariner Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 i would try my best to forget anything but the input type="file" for browsing your local machine FF is very funny about opening files in the manner with whihc you speak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
