Drag on BAT file

I dint know where to post this but here is a really cool thing i just made. Let me start by telling you what it does and why it does it.

I am always having to share files with people especially players from my hl2dm gaming clan. Most of whom are on MSN. If they are on MSN its very cool because I can literally drag a file into the message box and it automatically offers a d/l link for the recipient to D/l. Which is cool

However if a user hasn't got any MSN installed i have to find a different way to upload files to them. This is how i would of done this (using WAMP).
1. find file.
2. Copy file.
3. goto c:\WAMP\WWW\send
4. paste file into send
5. goto CMD
6. do IPCONFIG
7. Copy the IP address
8. Paste somewhere
9. pretend to rename file so i can copy file name.
10. Paste that after IP part.
11. Copy whole thing and give to user.

Thats 11 steps to bordem.

So being the brainiac i am i decide to develop a drag and drop program. Its a simple BAT file that sits on my desktop and i can drag a file on to it. The batch then does the following
1. Start WAMP
2. Start services
3. Copy dragged file to c:\wamp\www\send
4. Output the download URL

This way all i have to do is drag my file onto the BAT program and it automatically starts wamp and creates a download link to that file. Pretty cool hey?

So heres the codes and instructions for installation
1. create a BAT file on your desktop i named mine "auto_up_tool.bat"
2. right click and edit
3. Insert the codes below and save


cd c:\wamp
START wampserver.exe
NET START wampapache
NET START wampmysqld
START firefox localhost/send?file=%1
exit


4. If you haven't already got it Download http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and install it.

5. Now we have to make a PHP script to handle the request sent by the BAT file.

6. goto c:\WAMP\WWW and create a folder called send make sure this has full read permissions and that system has write permissions.

7. Go into your new send folder and create a file called index.php

8 right click index.php and edit.

9 Insert these codes


<?PHP

$the_file=NULL;
$file=$_GET['file'];
$file=str_replace(chr(92).chr(92), chr(92), $file);

echo $file.' <br /> Was the file to be sent<br />copying file';

$RL_array=explode(chr(92), $file);
$the_file=$RL_array[sizeof($RL_array)-1];
$URL='copy "'.$file.'" "C:'.chr(92).'wamp'.chr(92).'www'.chr(92).'send'.chr(92).$the_file.'"';
$moved=shell_exec($URL);
$server_ip=shell_exec('ipconfig.exe | find "IP Address" | find /v " 0.0.0.0"');

preg_match( '/(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})/', $server_ip , $ip );

echo '<br />
Here is the download link
<br /> <a href="http://'.$ip[0].'/send/'.$the_file.'" >http://'.$ip[0].'/send/'.$the_file.'</a>';

?>


Now go back to desktop and test it. drag a file on to the BAT file and watch it. HF :D

I was getting a problem with the returning the IP of the machine, it was returning as localhost, so i have produced some code to rectify this problem that should work on any windows machine. See the first post for these changes

I have just dowloaded the latest version of WAMP and found that the application launchers filename has changed. To rectify this change


cd c:\wamp
START wampserver.exe
NET START wampapache
NET START wampmysqld
START firefox localhost/send?file=%1
exit


for


cd c:\wamp
START wampmanager.exe
NET START wampapache
NET START wampmysqld
START firefox localhost/send?file=%1
exit
