Hii,

what do you mean you want to execute a command.
Do you eant to execute the command on the client or the server?
what kind of command?

[Markus]

have a look at exec()

:)

[harshmaul]

True,
but exec() is for server side, if you want client side you will need to look at "content dispositioning" the file in to a batch file....

eg...

<?php
header("Content-type: application/bat");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=notepad.bat");
notepad.exe
?>

The above will load up notepad on the client.

Thanx, but exec() is not working.......
just I want to run "mstsc.exe" command when I click on anchor Tag: <a href="test.php" >Click to Run</a>

Thanx,
on server side
just I want to run "mstsc.exe" command when I click on anchor Tag: <a href="test.php" >Click to Run</a>

Hi,

So letme gety this write. You want a web site, that when a user clicks a link, they get a prompt to log in to a remote PC/Server?

[mahmoodtyagi]

Yes

Thank you so much.

Hi, in a new html page write the following code....

<?php
header("Content-type: application/bat");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=notepad.bat");
mstsc.exe
?>

When you run it the browser will ask if you would like to download it, and then if you click run it will launch copmmand prompt, and load up the remote desktop...

Alternatively if the page is going to be secure you could do it like this.....
but don't forget to change the variables to those appropriate to you... (i started all you should change with **

<?php
header("Content-type: application/rdp");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=rdp.rdp");
?>
