Hello, I'm new here on the forum and have a question to execute a file on the computer via PHP. She wanted to stay the same button "START GAME" like this site " csonline.nexon.com " In this example, it can run the file, regardless of where it is installed. I believe that it accesses your computer registry to find this information. Could help me?
I would expect the browser to protect users from that kind of thing. You'd need to use a browser plugin to make that happen - which means its not PHP. Example: I use Strava and when I hook up my Garmin device the browser can access that data but I've already given permission to the plugin/app thing that does the work.
I used a native php function to execute .exe files when i was developing a remote managment web for a game server. Try this: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php If the file it is not in the server, you can execute a file that comunicates with the real host.
I read his question to mean that he wanted to run a file on the user's computer not the server. Zenaro - can you confirm your requirement please.
Yes sarahk, exactly! Is that my friends and I are developing a game, but how we use a MySQL server without support external connections, that would be the only way to "make authentication" in the game. That would be temporary, until we change the Host. Do not know if you access the link that went above ( http://csonline.nexon.com/Contents/main/index.aspx ), There they have a button "START GAME" which does exactly what I want. Runs wherever installed game, regardless of where you installed.
I clicked on it but the Korean translation wasn't too helpful and I'd need to create an account. Can't you just use cookies for authentication?
It would not take one account, was more to model, but if you want, we have a test account "csobr2012" for login and password. But to run the game, it needs to be installed. I thought about that possibility, but would have to move the game system, I think it would be for a future. From what I saw from the windows registry on this game, they have an entry "executable", I think it is from running the game. Any idea how I can do the same? Even if it is through another language.
I didn't check the site, but I'm pretty sure they're using a custom protocol (scheme). Basically, you register your app as default handler for a certain scheme. Google for "windows protocol activation" or similar.
No, the .exe you want to run needs a custom scheme. From your site you would just link to it: <a href="myapp://init">Open app</a> HTML: It doesn't matter where you host your site.
I host in Hostinger.. Sorry, i look for something else here. I saw another link and I'll try at home when i arrive. If this works, I will post here
You need some custom browser or register the schemne, like http:// ftp://.... well, you need to register your own then you can run your executable via as link. Ofcourse it will only works in a computer where you previously creatre you own myapp://
