Hi

I was wondering. How do you write the above in php?

Thanks.

As far as I know, you can't. PHP knows nothing about HTML elements (at least not without some kind of add-in). PHP works with the HTML element values in <form>'s that are submitted.

What's the point in calling an .exe file in the link URL? Compare http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/all.html#run-program


innerHTML sets HTML or text, in the above example it would be URL as plain text --is that what you want?


Do you mean you want PHP to output the above JS code? Or do you want PHP to run javascript? The latter doesn't work, though it is possible to run javascript on the server side with Node.js.

Thanks for that.

1. I want people to download an exe file onto their computer.
2. Yes, I want php to out the above code.

Thanks.

Why not let PHP print an HTML link then? Why involve JS?


PHP can print JS code just like HTML. The above is not a working JS, though.

Also I wouldn't print the static parts of HTML or JS with PHP, just data that's dynamically generated by the PHP script, from say a form submission or DB query.
