I'm currently building a web page which require to call some system apis such as wifi apis. I will build these apis in different modules in different platoform because my web site will run in multiple platoform and browsers. I can fulfill my task by using such as java applet or activex/.net component. But that will require installation of exteranal package. My questions is if there are any easy and portable way? My web programming language will be php.
A:
Well you can't; you need to install something to call on the server, and have appropriate permissions.
These things are:
- Silverlight
- Flash maybe
- ActiveX
- Java
Depending on what you want, probably ActiveX is best. I can't speak for the others' ability to do what you need.
The web-programming language you use for this is meaningless.

Why do you say that ActiveX is best? It's banned in many companies.

Sorry, I was probably speaking accidentally from experience; these days ActiveX is probably not so great, due to browser support and general annoyingness.
