This link will not work in Mozilla. (Does nothing) However, if I copy and paste the address into the addess bar, it works fine. I suspect this is a security thing.
I don't think that PHP being server side should make a huge difference. The client and server are on the same network in this case, and the files would be on another server on the same network. Is there a way that the PHP server can access the file over the network and then send it to the client? I don't think I can make the client open the file itself.
Thanks, Grant

Bit suprised that mozilla didn't let you access the file using the 'file://' notation. Did you actually use three slashes? ie it should be
'file:///home/grant' and not 'file://home/grant/'
There isn't any other way in which you can use PHP to access files on a hard disk. PHP is a server side scripting language. You could always try signed java applets.
