How to open a link on browser using ubuntu connected via sssh



I have an application which has to open a link on a browser in order to collect information from it [disclaimer: I don't want to use any headless browser].



When I run it on my local machine, everything works good; It opens the link on my default browser and does the work.



now, I have deployed the application on my remote ubuntu machine (which I connect to via putty) but the xdg-open command won't work there. It has its problems like not having GUI server or echo $DISPLAY gives nothing (even tried the DISPLAY=:0 method).



I want to be able to launch a browser at the end of the day and do my work. Then I was thinking it it is possible to open a browser on my local system via a command in my script on the server?





What operating system are you running on the local system? Are you running an X server on the local system? Are you running putty with the option to forward X?

windows 10 on local, Ubuntu 16.04.3 on remote. No there's no X server on local (win) and no, putty hasn't been configured to forward X option. I'm pretty new to these things, thus discovering slowly these steps @Kenster

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails I have created a contact form using PHP to send the data. The form seems to send fine as there are no errors and success message appears, however I am not receving the emails into the designated inbox. I am using PHPMailer as I originally tried just using the php 'mail' command which I now understand is a bit hit and miss. I cannot see why I would not be receving the emails so I would be very grateful for any help that could be given. I'm quite new to PHP so please be patient with me :) <?php use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer; use PHPMailerPHPMailerException; $msg = ""; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { require 'phpmailer/src/Exception.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/SMTP.php'; function sendemail ($to, $from, $body) { $mail = new PHPMailer(true); $mail->setFrom($from); $mail->addAddress($to); $ma...

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished?

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished? I have several graphics cards of the same manufacturer and same model and I want to distinguish them not only by the pcie socket they reside in but by some individual value I can read from the hardware. Is there such value and if so what would it be called and how could I access it? Right now I'm using modern nvidia cards (10xx series) and nvidia inspector.but I'd prefer if there was any value that was also applicable to amd. I have programming and scripting knowledge. I am running Windows 10 1 Answer 1 This is a powershell example to pull information from video cards. The DeviceID is supposed to be unique but only if the manufacturer supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). (I copied this directly from docs.microsoft.com) $strComputer = "." $colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_VideoC...
