Is this possible

[scandog]

Hi,

I really don't think this is possible from what I know of php, but I thought I would as the experts.

Is it possible to have php create directories and move files on a local machine. I have created a web portal for a client and now they would like it to upload files to an server, no a problem. But they would like it to also move temp files on the users computer to new directories and then upload the file to the server with no user interation other than clicking go.

I have thought of doing this in vb or c# but I have done very little with these languages, and php just rocks.

Thanks

Nope, PHP has no interaction with the files on the clients computer.

NOt possible at all, or not sensibly anyway.

PHP is a server-side scripting language and only executes on the server. You cannot sedn php code to the client and have it execute there.

Yes you can upload and download files through http post, or FTP, or the like, and move them around the client machine that way. Sound silly? IT should do.

To do it with a client-side scripting language you really are going to need VBScript/ASP/C#/.NET/Java/ActiveX or the like.
