Local Program Call in PHP

[digatle]

Is there a way that you can code a PHP page to open a program locally with a specific page? So like open "notepad" and edit the .php page, click File -> Save and it's updated?

What's your user interface.

PHP can invoke COM objects. But some objects start apps that require access to the desktop. If you're running PHP on a Win32 box from the console, it should be doable.

This isn't a win32 box, its a red hat es3 box. We do use SAMBA to get to our files but we (the developers) use an application called UltraEdit that we would like to have as an editor but we want to access that from an "admin.php" page. This make any since?

You're not going to be able to open a Win32 application from a Linux box using PHP.

But instead of using some existing app, why not just use PHP's filesystem functions to directly write to the file?
