You can't do it with JavaScript. The most you can do with PHP is launch the CD burning application on the server.
You can't touch the user's machine.

Re: Opening a CD burning application through PHP or Javascript
You cannot do anything like that due the security implemented at browser level. Even if you make a com (welcome back vb6
) you should always remember that it will run on server and not on a client.
For this you need a java applet, or it's corespondence an ActiveX.

ActiveX (Microsoft technology) is created in languages like C++, C# or VB. c
