Hi, I assume that you want to invoke an application that is on client machine, with a php script executed on the server... right? If yes, then there are couple of issues. 1. php script executed on server cannot control the applications on client. What server sends client is only HTML, nothing else. So you should send links to appropriate locations of the applications as anchor tags. 2. Even though on same machine (localhost) client and server are considered different, so use point no.1 If you want to execute windows programs on the server itself, then I think there is no way to grab the output of the application and use it further in PHP code.
