Ave,
I think I did it! I created a sharepoint within my web server (inside my
website) and mounted the share on that sharepoint. Once I did that, I
specified correct paths and my downloads are now working. I created a ³jump
menu² select list and this is what I¹ve come up with:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function openVox(form) {
var newIndex = form.voxSelect.selectedIndex;
if (newIndex == 0) {
//alert( "Please select a file to download!" );
} else {
dlvox = form.voxSelect.options[newIndex].value;
window.location.assign(dlvox);
}
}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="voxForm" STYLE="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<SELECT NAME="voxSelect" onChange="openVox(this.form)">
<OPTION>... Choose Recording ...</OPTION>
<?php
exec("find /Library/WebServer/Documents/website.com/folder/vox -type f
-name ".$row['PHONE']."*.vox", $files);
foreach ($files as $value) {
echo "<OPTION
VALUE='vox/".basename($value)."'>".basename($value)."</option>";
}
?>
</SELECT>
</FORM>
Now it¹s able to pull up filenames associated with a record using it¹s phone
number and the wildcard method suggested previously, and a user can select
the file from a drop down and it comes up for Download. Perfect!
Thanks!!
