Run Win32 executable in client from apache/php based server ?

[Tony B]

I have a intranet website on one of our windows machines that runs apache
2.0/php5/mysql.
In the website, if the user clicks a button I want to run a win32 command
line program on the client windows machine.
This command line utility returns a string to standard output. I want to
capture the string and return it to the server and then
process it in php.

I know this isn't a php question, but I hoped someone could give
me pointers as to what techniques I might need to use so I can investigate
further, or suggest a more suitable ng for this topic ? At this point I'm
not even sure what subject this comes under !
Regards
Tony

Sorry about that. On my news service my post and any replies has not
appeared even after 4 days, so I assumed it hadn't gone out for some reason.
However this post and your reply did make it to my news server this time !
It's steange as I thought my news server was fairly good.
