 Has anyone tried to execute an .exe file from PHP? I am
currently stuck in a situation where I cannot execute the script, and
all I am getting is a blank screen.

This is my code snippet used to execute the file:

 //execute program
$a = @shell_exec("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test/test.exe");
echo $a;

The
program above is supposed to generate a file, so I can read from it. I
have previously set up a file, and I have no problems with reading the
file.
Can anyone please help me with the possible command to
execute the script? I tried CURL too, but it does not seem to be
working either.

1) Remove the @ before the function call, it's hiding the error message!

2) \ needs to be escaped within double quotes, try replacing each one with \\

3) Why are you mixing \'s and /'s? Dunno whether it matters, but it's definitely better to stick to one or the other.

4) There is no 4!
