drew4663 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have a registration and login option available on my site using php and mysql. When the username and password is authenticated I want it to open an app for the client and the app is dependent upon authentication from the website. I have seen a lot of diiferent forums but nothing really solid or up to date. Does anyone have any clue on how this can be done? fyi - this will be windows based and I am using PHP 5.0 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63773-running-a-client-side-app-using-server-side-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbo Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 You can't run an application on the client machine using a server side language such as PHP without some sort of extra software to trigger it. Such as client installs a "listener" on their machine and when something is invoked on the server it transmits to a server where the listener is and the listener then processes the information and performs the action. Might be able to do some trickery with sockets too... but natively you cannot pull this off.
