Filebrowse prompt for local script

Hi NG!

I am using a couple of local scripts without webserver.
Is there a way to make the script open a filebrowse prompt, so that the user
can select some file as input?

Not without some type of GUI.

Make life easy on yourself. Install WAMP on your system and get a
webserver.

I thought since I can call system commands, there should be a way to browse
for a file...

So which system command gives a filebrowse prompt?

If I knew it I wouldn`t ask ...
But when selecting a file within an HTML form, the filebrowser is a local
application.

That's because there isn't one for command line applications. Strictly
command line.

And yes, the browser is a local application - but it's being served from
a webserver, which is what's executing the PHP code. If you want to use
the features of the browser, you need a server to handle the PHP end.
The server can be local.

I meant "strictly text". :-)

Hi Richard,

I already bumped into this. Looks a little overhead, but it`s still on my
ToReviewList ;-)
I appreciate the effort!

<?php

dl('php_win32std');
$res = win_browse_file(true, null, null, null, array('Text files (*.txt)' ='*.txt'));

print_r($res);

?>

Be aware of the fact that result of the function will be in ANSI encoding.
