I want PHP to execute links on my PC from just loading a webpage on my phone.
I have an app that automatically detects youtube/music links in sms texts sent to me and loads the body of the text into a webpage as a variable (%body), so people can text me with a link that they want played on my PC.
http://localhost/openlink.php?link=http://www.google.com (or link=%body% from app)
openlink.php:
<?php
//Show the value of the variable "link" (Shows it every time)
echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['link']);
//Set $link
$link = $_GET['link'];
//Open firefox in attempt to run the webpage stored in "link" (attempts to open $link.com)
exec(' "C:\Firefox\firefox.exe" "$link" ');
?>
The above currently works fine apart from one thing... it doesn't load $link as the variable... each time it is sending firefox to load http://www.$link.com/ instead of the text/link inside the variable
I've been searching around the net a lot however cannot find how I can get it to load the website that is in the variable
Could someone please help? Maybe I'm requiring code completely different in order to do this?
Got it to work!
<?php
//Show the value of the variable "link"
echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['link']);
//Set $link
$link = $_GET['link'];
//Open firefox in attempt to run the webpage stored in "link"
exec(' "C:\Firefox\firefox.exe" " '.$link.' " ');
?>
Just by simply using '.$link.'
