I have a series of DOS Batch files which when run copy files from a floder to the floppy disk. I would like to be able to do this over the net using PHP. I have tried but no can do.
example file would be
md a:\dira
copy c:\download\file1.doc a:\dira
exit
which i have changed now to read
md a:\dira
copy \admin1\c\download\file1.doc a:\dira
exit
which works fine from DOS but how do i do it in PHP
Thanks
Dean

Deano,
try to use PHP function to create folder and copy files, e.g.:
mkdir("folder_name",0777);
copy($sourcefile_name,$destfield_name);
Refer to PHP manual for more information about mentioned functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php

the problem with this seems to be that the function is run on the server and cannot copy to the client machine. Yes i could use Copy function but it will only copy from folder to folder on the server. i want server to client without user intervention. i can get the list of files to be copied in a folder but then the user must do a save as to his floppy disk. There must be an easier way
Thanks
Dean
