[UPHPU] Passing info to a php script

[John Anderson]

I'm a little confused on what is on your CD: you can't run PHP or mySQL from a CD. 

You run PHP on your webserver - so there is no way to include a file on your local filesystem. 
Can you imagine what could happen if my webserver had access to read files from your CD 
drive? Sounds like a perfect feature for Longhorn :o)

As I understand it, the only thing on your CD is a static HTML page (with some Javascript in 
it) that redirects the user's browser to a live PHP on a web server somewhere. The only way to 
identify who that request is coming from is to pass a GET variable when you do the redirect.

The problem with that, is that you have to create a different HTML file for each CD.
