Can one to dial-up via php?

[sulacco]

Sorry, but i'm very tied of Russian forum. It's mentality or
something worse. Can Western ppl help me out. My question is:
Is it possible to make dialup connection in php (php installed in client machine(not server)). Which functions to use?
I quite understand that question is slightly off major course of php but i have such a need.

It's doable. I think.

On what OS are you running PHP?

Exactly what are you trying to do with PHP and dialup?

I've php installed on client machine(not server).

it automatically. On c++ i know how to do it.

And are you trying to get PHP to initiate a dialup-networking connection? Or something else?

[sulacco]

that's right to initiate a dial-up connection.

 

[sleipnir214]

It can be done, but I have very little experience with PHP on Win32.

You may have to use PHP's COM support functions (

[OSR]

If PHP is installed on the client it can run a PHP console which has more rights than regular PHP -- with that you can actually run any Windows Batch Command or any regular expression that the OS accepts and thusly use the OS through PHP.

I know of no way you can initialize or call upon the Modem itself through PHP but perhaps you can use Windows or the OS commands to do this --

try shell_exec() or proc_open() or popen() -- using the BACKTICK `` markers PHP will try to execute anything between those markers as console commands.

Question...
is this a setup for an individual client box, or a script you're trying to ship out the door?

If it's the first, you can definately do this with enough finagling, though you may be best served by heading over to one of the Win32 forums and asking about making a modem connection through the command line.

If it's the later, you're going to be at the whim of alot of issues such as whether or not the user has correctly setup a default modem in their Control Panel, and if so if they've setup the correct dialing properties and saved passwords etc.

Tnank you people. You're really helping. You have no idea how it difficult to get answer from my russian collegues.
They are behaving unreasonable. I think that's why we lose
Cold War. And I'm quite happy about this.

I'm doing it in script. I got such schedule:
1)I'm calling from my mobile phone to my sliping machine
2)maching awakes makes some calls then make some calculation
then disconnect from net and call me to mobile phone and
pass over some info. I'm get some calls and again i'm happy.
Personnaly I think 'Com' will do the job.
