An <input type="file"> will automatically display a browse button that
opens a user environment specific file browser (aka "explorer").

You can't (SERVER vs Client) you cannot make Php open an program on the
client computer.
If you want to get a file from your computer that is a simple HTMLTag.
<input type="file" name="image" tabindex="1" size="35" />

Please explain if that is not what you meant.

Hi,

I am a newB to php. When a user clicks a button on the client
side, it will open a windows explorer with the path to a folder from
the server machine. Is it possible.

Lets say my server is machine x and client is machine y. from y is it
possible using php to open a path from x (X:\folder1\folder2\)

I am using

<p><a href="<?php exec($click_Folder); ?>"><?php echo "Sequence Path";
?> </a></p><br />. Alternatively, I used system instead of exec. It
shows the path but upto two subfolders not all.

BRgds,

kNish
