Batch File from Server

Hi all,

I am working on PHP with MySQL on a Windows Terminal. I am right now stuck in using batch files in PHP (with Javascript). Let me explain my situation as clear as possible of me.

I have a set of batch files in my htdocs/bat folder on the server.

When the user clicks on a button in the page I desire to execute a batch file present in the server. This batch file should create a directory (the name of which I pass to the batch file) on the clients machine. For example: Assume that there is a batch file called abc.bat which contains the code:


If I call the batch file as



A directory should be created on the clients machine C: drive as John.

In total: The batch file present in the server should be fetched and all its contents (batch file's commands) should be executed completely in the client side.

How do I do it ? Please help me with the code. Its urgent.

Thanx for any help in advance.

Regards,

tvks
I strongly believe PHP never has "no" as an answer

As far as I am aware this is impossible as it would be totally insecure as if you could run it from a button click it could be run automatically, which would be a sort of paradise for virus makers etc. You could just have the user download the file and then tell them to run it.

I personally do not see a way PHP could do it, perhaps something like Java could but Ive never really used Java.

No matter what they msut download/run it on their own. You can, however, make PHP edit the batch file so that the batch file has the folder set
