Well, you've got the thinking still wrong here.
1. Unless accessable by normal network connection, PHP ('the form') cannot
under any circumstances access or read the file-system of the client. 't
Would be the moment I dump an OS if websrever could view my files like
that. PHP is not aware of any other filesystem then it's own (and possible
network shares).
2. C++ programs do run local (most of the time), so they have access to
the file system.
3. Normally, the browser is the only application communicating with the
server, and can only do so with an HTTP-request. This does not allow the
reading of files of the client.
Then again, your solution to the problem seems cumbersome. Why go through
all that trouble creating a custom made local cookie manually? Just let it
be set in an admin interface you'll only have to access once when the
computer is moved. Or if everything is within the local network, and ip's
are static, store which ip should print where, and change that when you're
redecorating. All infintely simpler.
