Hello Guys.
I was told from the PHP section that this belongs in the Javascript Section.
I have been trying to write a little web interface page that would allow a user to run a script when they clicked a button.
The first time they clicked the button it would create a timestamp in a .tmp file. The second time they clicked it, it would compare that time stamp with the current time and if it has been been, lets say 30 minutes, it would recreate the timestamp. If it had not been 30 minutes yet, it would let you know.
When the button accepts the input, meaning it has been over 30 minutes, I wanted it to execute a VBScript, but no matter what I do I can't get it to work. Right now it is a simple VBScript that ECHO's "HI". Here is the code I am using.
This is the index.php
This is another file called 'time.php'
Notes:
I have tested the script by putting
in the index.php and it works just fine. I tested this just to make sure I could run the script from the web browser without a problem.
Any help is welcome
