Links To Files On Internet Server

[cit]

In a php page I want to set up links to files, with file extensions ".txt",".pdf" and ".xls". The files is located on the companys server. I am developing this PHP page on a PC with WAMP installed. My attempts to do this failed: echo "<BR><a href=\"http://localhost/W://Market/list.txt\">List.txt</a>"; echo "<BR><a href='file:///W:/Market/list.txt'>List.txt</a>";Do you have a suggestion to make such links work?

The localhost domain points to a specific folder. You can't just access your whole computer with it. You can only access the www directory that's in WAMP. Put all the files you're going to use under [C or D or F or W ...]:/wamp/www/

PHP would be able to access those files though, so you could develop a script where you pass the filename to PHP, which would go get it from the network and return it. It would be a major security problem to give anyone access to any file they typed in, but you could do it. You could also filter filenames to only return files with certain extensions.
