Hi all:
Thanks to those who replied to my earlier question. I understand now
that what I really need to do is to set up a local server and MySQL for my
project, as PHP seems rife with ways to query the local server's folder
structure.
I am assuming that you are only interested in inspecting your own local machine
and that your interested in reading/viewing the results from a publically
accessible webserver (maybe pwd protected).
in such a case you need only install the CLI version of php (with the mysql or
mysqli exntesions) and setup your public webserver to allow connections to
your mysql database from certain remote locations (i.e. your local PC).
i.e. you can use a simple distributed model for you application - although
if it is only for your own consumption them installing everything on your local
machine is probably your best bet.
with regard to installing a php-enabled webserver on your windows machine there
are quite alot of packages that install and configure everything for you.
I last used WAMP and found it to be satisfactory.
I had attempted to search for ways to accomplish said task from a remote
server but failed to find anything addressing that issue, which is why I
turned here. My apologies. I shall endeavor to have a more list-worthy
question the next time.
your original question was a little unclear - I asked you some questions
in return (which you didn't asnwer) in the hope that it might become clear
exactly what it is that you wish to do.
