And is your host server running Windows?

Do you want to run it client or server side, because client is imposible.

If you will vieuw your serrver you'll probably see a bat file running

i tried to make the permissions 777 in wamp but also it did not

i think that the problem is in wamp?? right????

do u have any idea

The Windows OS has no idea what "777" means

Does the account your apace server uses have write acces to the location of the .bat file?

user "everybody" should have write permissions in your windows folder.

And the batch should be outside of the web root folder.

how i can make your idea in wamp server?

this is'nt scripting, this is just windows.

You need to right-click on your www map.
and go to properties, select the sequrity tab.
Give all users read/write rights.

And then it should work.

Give all users read/write rights

Great plan if your server is open to the Internet! NOT!!

put the batch file in a folder that the Apache service username has "execute" permissions to. DO NOT open the permissions to the entire C: drive, that will be courting disaster!
