I'm currently building an intranet for a client, and they would like their network login to work with the web based intranet.
So far, I have the user's computer generate a text file which is created when the user logs in, which contains their informations, such as which dept they work in, their username, their system root (for X-platform) and other information.
The trouble being, I don't know how you'd go about accessing files local to a computer in PHP. I started off using shell commands, only to realise once they were online they weren't relative to the computer, and instead the server.
I've heard it's possible in Java, but I'd rather use PHP if it's possible.
Please help?
Thanks very much in advance.
