hi
im trying to build a program like windows commander on linux with php.
is there any way that i can start vi with php?
for example, im showing all the files of a certain folder and now i wanna edit with vi one of the files.
how do i do if its even possible...
thanks!

Technically, yes. You could start it with exec, passthru or system. But remember that this will start it on the server, not on the client.
