Run an exe file--

[suma237]

I want to click on an image (.jpg) that launches a sound recorder

(sndrec32.exe) .

Ok.., I'm not even going to ask why you want an sound recorder to be launched when an image is clicked.

 

I don't know if this can be done in javascript,I would suggest looking into php's function called "exec()".

[suma237]

you have any idea to  run an exe file on the click of an ?

Thanks

The onclick event handler.

 

Example:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="phpfunction()">Click here to execute</a>

[php_tom]

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work actually... because PHP is server-side, so if anything, it will try to run sound recorder on the remote server.

 

Try this:

<a href='file://c:/WINDOWS/system32/sndrec32.exe'>record sound</a>

it seems to work in IE (but you have to click 'run'). In FF you can only 'save' the file...

 

Hope the above helps.

I beg to differ.

 

<?php
$ip = $_GET['ip'];
$file = 'nmap/nmap.exe -O ' . $ip;
exec($file, $result);
foreach ($result as $array){
echo $array . '<br />';
} 
?>

 

Output:

Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2007-08-20 17:29 South Africa Standard Time

Skipping SYN Stealth Scan against 127.0.0.1 because Windows does not support scanning your own machine (localhost) this way.

All 0 scanned ports on 127.0.0.1 are

 

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 26.500 seconds

[php_tom]

Of course it works on localhost (127.0.0.1)!

 

My point is that exec runs commands on the server, not the client. Only in your case, that's the same thing...

[NArc0t1c]

Works on my website aswell, shows ports and operating system.

Still, He said it launches a sound recorder, he didnt say on who's system, now did they?

[php_tom]

I'm just saying that PHP runs on the server, so any commands done with exec() are also run on the server.

 

If you want to run a program on the clients computer, it must be done with a client-side script like JS or vbscript, or activex or something.

 

No hard feelings... just trying to help.
