Was wondering how i would go about implementing this.

A web page where it lets you customize things which in turn changes around files and downloads.

  

 @echo off "[Java directory]" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar [tick a box].jar nogui pause

Code (markup):

   [Java Directory] Press Choose Directory, it opens up a form where you can find where your java.exe is located once you've selected it, it takes the link to it's directory, lets use

'%programFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe'

Code (markup):

as an example. It then substitutes the directory into the [Java directory].

[tick a box] 2 Options will be given, a normal server or modded server.
If you tick a normal server it will change [tickabox] to minecraftserver.jar
If you tick the modded server it will change [tick a box] to craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

  Example;
  

 
@echo off 
"[Java directory]" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar [tick a box].jar nogui 
pause

Code (markup):

 
 

@echo off 
"%programFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar minecraft_Server.jar nogui 
pause

Code (markup):

Then lastly it gives the option to where your server will be located;
Once chosen this will then download the server folder including;

the bat file which it auto edited above with the [java directory] and [tick a box]
a .jar file from a direct link

Was wondering is this all possible with php? and where would i go from first?

I am completely new to php and was wondering if this was possible and where i would go from to start. Like would i learn about CMS, Forms etc.

Thanks in advance for all advice and insight! 
 

 

php can use system and exec command's. 

http://www.php.net/system
http://www.php.net/exec

Have fun!  

 

It looks like your using dos commands. I think perhaps a ajax/php (ruby on rails) system would be the best way to do this for you. This is how the file stuff is done in the WHM/Cpanel for servers. In this case it would be for a windows box. You would have to setup the right permission and make really sure you make it very secure. i wish you good luck on your long road ahead of you.

 

Thanks for the replies guys greatly appreciated!

Do you think it would be best if i just got a friend to do it in installer form? would it be way more easier and logical to do it installer form then web form> 

 

Do what is the easy thing to do. No need to make it more complicated then you need it to be.
