Rumors and such... Are they true? (Local EXE Parser)

Post by Sky »

My friend said he found a site with a... A program that could parse files locally (Not like a editor, or php.exe itself) for stuff like applications, so that you could execute code client side, for the user.... If you can understand.... :P

Anyone heard of/have any info on this?

like a bug in the browser's sandbox?
http://www.heise.de/ct/browsercheck/demos.shtml has some demonstrations of such bugs (german site, not scriptkiddies but a computer magazine publisher)

Umm, more like a program... Umm... I'll put it this way, It would solve the problem of me having to learn another language to write 'local only' code. I'll look up what he said in the log, just a sec...

Ok, I was wrong. Not exe, AX. "I found an activeX control that can parse PHP files IE no webserver" that might help a little >_<

can you get a copy of MS DevStudio?
the .dsp file contains the properties of the project.
If not you might take a look at http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml

Clientside only code? Hmm... within a web browser? You might try what's suggested above. Otherwise... A GTK version of php may help ;)
