All my reasons to ask you all about this ,because I'm currently developing a web-base multiplayer game with PHP. In my game, I created my Own browser with VB so user will probably don't know which files they're executed (for security reasons). But the problem is, I really hard too figure out how to maintain the user login information... The only way I can think about is to keep user's login information (username and Password) in one file that located in User's machine. So, when they're running the game from my browser... the browser will take the login information from the file and pass it to my login.php page... so user will be login automatically . I've tried it... but I'm stuck with VB (I hate VB)... So, I planned to use PHP to take the login information from my machine directly, but didn't work... I juz remember then that PHP is server side.... BTW, I put all my PHP stuffs in my host... and my multimedia stuffs plugged into the browser on my machine. Why VB ?? Yeah I know how stupid I am.. In fact I can juz using PHP-GTK for the Interface (browser) right ??? But somehow, I don't want to bother the user's who don't have a php-gtk modules.... that's why. I've tried to make the browser with Windows API too... but I failed.. coz it's really hard to modified, because after I released my game for windows.. I'll also released the linux version in the next week after reconfiguring a new browser using GTK. I've made a sample client browser so you can understand what I mean (sorry , my English is so bad)... it's still bad browser, coz anyway... it's juz a sample.. :D http://kapsul.org/lab/panglima.exe Last night... I juz have an Idea to use Javascript for taking the information from my machine and then call the php-file from my host then pass the information in as variables... Maybe It would work... but too bad.. I'm still blind about javascripts. Maybe somebody could give me some suggestions ??? --www.kapsul.org-- DuFronte -----Original Message----- From: John A DAVIS [mailto:John.A.Davis@state.or.us] Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 2:02 AM To: dufronte@kapsul.org Subject: RE: read a file from local harddisk could you map a drive letter on the web server to the folder where the files are? >>> dufronte@kapsul.org 12/10/02 10:49AM >>> Well I don't know how to make a socket connections... can you give me an example please...

So, regardless of what machine you are using to browse your PHP page, it will only know of text files on the server. So, you will probably need to employ socket connections in order to get text files from a machine other then the server. -Brad > > HI... sorry to interrupt again... > > I have another ridiculous question... > > I have a text file in my machine... and a php-file in my host (such as > host.sk etc..) > I want to use my php-file to access my text file in my machine > directly... > I used fopen, and fread stuff... but didn't work.... > > Btw, can somebody help my with this....
