Is there a way that PHP can allow a user to browse the files on the server's network, and ultimately send the file to the user?
I'm making a database interface with PHP to be used internally on our network. Through a PHP interface, the user wants to browse their network and find a file, and insert the file's path into the database. The user then wants the database to display a link, which when clicked will open the file. They want this to work in Mozilla or IE, on both windows and linux machines. I tried making the path a link with file://"path", but Mozilla wouldn't follow the link (probably a security thing; it makes sense that links shouldn't open local files).
Is there a way that I can give PHP the network path (through $_POST for example), and it would return the file instead of an HTML document?
Thanks for any help, Grant
