Todd, I just wanted to stress that there is NO way for PHP to access
anything on the client. The way you wrote it, you sort of implied that
there might be other ways:
"PHP by itself cannot access the local file system in a way that
allows ..."
That's all.
The above is saying two different things.
1). "PHP by itself cannot access the local file system" <-- true.
2) "... there is NO way for PHP to access anything on the client."
<-- not true.
Javascript can access some stuff on the client <-- true.
Javascript and php can communicate <-- also true.
Therefore, anything that javascript can access can be provided to
php, thus proving [2] wrong.
Now, if I'm wrong, please show me something that javascript can get
that can't be provided to php.
Cheers,
tedd
