No you can't, those will only work on the server, not on the
client side, if you want to do something on the client side, then
you use a client side scripting language like javascript.
Javascript won't do it, either. Security restrictions will prevent
it.
You are right, must been thinking of trusted java applet that can get
some local file system access, even so, I don't believe it would be a
good solution.

You have had lots of straight answers. I tell you again, what you say you
know is all wrong. You cannot do it. Period!
Some people say I can. PHP can invoke other languages.

Those 2 things are unconnected. The people who say you can are wrong. php
can invoke programs written in other languages, but it does so on the
server, not on the client.
Still as Jerry says, ask the people who say you can, then share your new
wisdom.

You know, "some people" have told me that you can fry an egg in a
working refrigerator. I have not been able to do it yet. "Can anyone

even pay money for an answer."

Do you know a good definition of insanity? One might be "repeating
attempts to do the impossible, and expecting a different outcome".

You use a portable camp stove, silly.

And I claim my £5.

No, that's normal for most people in denial, or with religious conviction.

think about other client side techs, such as vbscript and activex, this
may not be able to work with firefox and other non-ie browsers.

And even if you use them, the user has to give permission for the script
to access his/her disk - which no intelligent user will do. And it
won't work on non Windoze systems.
