Hi,

I want to deliver subscripted content to users on CD. They then place
the CD into their CD drive and navigate to my site. Once logged in, I
want to be able to draw content from the CD and incorporate it with
content from my server.

I understand that access to the user's filesystem is not normal or even
allowed by default. However I am wondering if there is a workaround to
this limitation.

In Javascript, I can offer the user a security certificate that, if
acknowledged, will allow me to access their filesystem. Is there
something like that in PHP?

Thanks in advance.

(I admit to cross-posting this to PHP Hacks. Was I wrong?)
