Re: pass variable from vbscript to php

[Ashley <afogleman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just so that I don't start working in the wrong direction, do you mean 
that I can get the same information from the activeX control directly 
from PHP rather than having to do it with vbscript?

I am not much of a coder so any help porting the vbscript to PHP would 
be great.  The code that I am using to get the information from the 
activeX control is:
<--
<script type="text/vbscript">
	for each tree in NWSess1.ConnectedTrees		
		anyTree=tree.FullName
		anyUser=NWSess1.LoginName(anyTree)
		output=output+"Tree:"+anyTree+", userID:"+anyUser+vbcrlf		
	next
	//msgbox output
</script>
-->

I found this code on Novell's site so I didn't make this myself.
In the mean time, I will look at the information that you gave me and 
see if I can figure it out.

Thanks,
Ashley
