Need a ideea....
Hi. I want to make a personal webpage, but here is the trick part:
inside the page i want to put a frame, (something like a iframe) where i like to put something like a command line. For example: if i type "goto home.php" the browser will go to that page.
If i type "retrieve fis.ext" --> start download of fis.ext
and so on....
My question is:
-how do i make the browser to know what i type in? Or better, i need a program that runs on background and capture the text that i type there , interpret the text and make a decision ?
Soryy if I don't explin myself very well.

On what OS (windows, linux, *bsd?), what webserver (IIS, apache, Lotus Domino?) and what language (php, visualbasic, java?)
-
OS Linux Slackware, server Apache, Database server MySql. Language PHP .
-
short of learning a programing language suited for this (perl, python, ruby, java, php) and writting it yourself you can only hope that you find a similar script in one of the archives..

Code:
<?php
//get the information from POST
$post_cmd = $_POST['cmd'];
//if it exsists then do stuff
if($post_cmd)
{
//break it apart at the space
$cmds = explode(" ", $post_cmd);
//info is stored in an array called $cmds with cmds[0] being like 'goto'
//just add more elseif's for more commands and change what each command does if needed
//these are simply using a bit of JScript to redirect page but you could also use header();
if($cmds[0] == "goto") { ?>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

window.location="<?php echo $cmds[1]; ?>";
// -->
</script>
<?php }
elseif($cmds[0] == "retreive") { ?>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Script courtesy of http://www.web-source.net - Your Guide to Professional Web Site Design and Development
window.location="<?php echo $cmds[1]; ?>";
// -->
</script>
<?php }
else { ?>

window.location="error.php";

</script>
<?php }
}
?>

</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send Command" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
basic idea - but it can be done using some server side scripting to accept/process commands
btw not tested to work, just typed it out of top of head - but should be fine. However it does no form validation etc so watch what you do with it :)

thx --valhallen --- .I will get to work these days.
I was thinching something like a interpretator that runs in backgroung and gets the keys presed, then make a decision. However, thx once again. If i have more question i wiil post it here . For now I will try to make the best of it.
