Hi, PHP Window Users:
I have a snippet of code as in the following:
<?php
$filename="Test123.txt";
shell_exec("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\hello.exe -f$filename") or die ("Failed");
?>
The hello.exe was written in C and is meant to produce 6 files. The issue
here is that when I tried to run the PHP here, I keep on seeing "Failed". Am
I not supposed to execute exe files with this method?
Any tip on this would be great.
Alice

The onlything I've seen is make sure that the function isn't disabled in
your php.ini.
Does the exe run from the command line with out php?
Does the user that php is running at have permissions to run code and access
all asscociated dirs?

I'll chip in my 2c's worth. I never ever got shell() or exec() to run when
using IIS, but it works every time with Apache. May be worth the switch if
you are using IIS.
Cheers
George

I belive that I am running my PHP with Apache 2.1. I will check and see if
there is anything wrong wth the options of the code, but since my PHP is
running with 755, it should be able to run the file, right?
Another thing, does this mean that I don't have errors in my PHP?
