Hi Here is the situation...
In a script i want a line of text automaticly be launched so that command prompt executes it...
example

php does something like:

RUN: C:/myscript/ /madress:yours /body:text

Answer my questionif u have any knowlege or if im at the wrong place

[Anyango]

if

shell_exec

[php.net...]

works exactly like command prompt's shell command then you ll be easily able to send command line parameter to any executable and then in that executable you can capture it

like

shell_exec("DisplayName.exe Yourname");

however i niether have tested this method nor i can gaurantee that it ll work. all i can say is, it should.

I will try... but i actually dont need to open an .exe but run a line in cmd

[Twisted Mind]

it doesnt work :(

[Twisted Mind]

says unable to execute and i unsafemode'd my php.ini and restarted webhost thingy

[Twisted Mind]

If this would be of interest or is helpfull information im working on a w2003 server and webserver is IIS

>> RUN: C:/myscript/ /madress:yours /body:text

what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this?
is there no other way to do it?

you could also try one of these functions

exec
passthru
system

" I will try... but i actually dont need to open an .exe but run a line in cmd "

when you type any command in command prompt that command is a executable file.
Use shell_exec(). I used it and works fine.

Explaination:

I have A .exe file created by a college

This sends an email when you do something in cmd like
C:\mail2.exe /H:smtp.yourhost.com /:f [e-mail] /:t [e-mail]
/:l the body of the mail wich should be editable in php so you could autogenerate a message...

understand now?

Warning: shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Unable to execute 'd:\order_mail2\mail2.exe /h:smtp.danahermail.com /s:[e-mail] /r:[e-mail] /f:body_man_bverhoev.txt' in D:\Fluke_Mambo\exetest.php on line 3

Warning: shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Unable to execute 'd:\mail2_order\mail2_man_bverhoev.exe' in D:\Fluke_Mambo\exetest.php on line 2

when i try it on the rule i want to run and when i try to launch a .exe does this have anytin to do with IIS

[Twisted Mind]

so actually no one has a reply on my problem?

[jatar_k]

did you try any of the other functions I mentioned?

[Twisted Mind]

i tried them all...
