Initialising ActiveX from PHP

ctabyrne

Hi,

I have an ActiveX control that works fine from within a .html file. However, I want to generate the HTML from within PHP so that I can add parameters to go to the control. The HTML thay my PHP generates is identical to that in the .html file, but the control does not activate. Any ideas?

When you were testing your activeX html file, was it on your local drive? And you PHP printing out this html, is that on your local drive as well?

Remember that active X will only be loaded from a remote site if it's signed (unless the client is dumb enough to enable it on all local and remote sites!)

That brings me to the question: if you're running this PHP from a remote site, is your active X control signed or have permissions?

If you believe that's not the problem, would you mind posting your code (the html file and the PHP used to print the identical html output).

I've just recreated the code after various other attempts, so please excuse any obvious typos, but this is the content of Foo.php:

By the way, we know something of the dangers of ActiveX. This is a proof of concept project that might eventually run on locked-down machines. We envisage that they will be unable to do pretty much nothing else.

Thanks
