The following does not work. It spawns scores of processes, which
fortunately all die after 30 seconds.
<?
echo shell_exec("(path to php)/php.exe -h");
?>
I looked at the bug reports about possibly needing command.com but
these do not work either: (same result)
<?
echo shell_exec("command -c (path to php)/php.exe -h");
?>
<?
echo shell_exec("CMD /C (path to php)/php.exe -h");
?>
Why would I want to do this? To send html email using the PEAR mime
mail class, i.e.
<?
$htmlBody = shell_exec("(path to php)/php.exe
mimebody.php?param1=yada");
//rest of code to send mail...
?>
I downloaded and installed the standard windows installer, and the path
to php is C:\Inetpub\PHP
I have the same problem using back ticks as well.
Thanks very much for looking at this.
