exec, problem with working directory

[dev_guy13]

exec.php inside D:/files/

exec("D:/files/menu/pdf/".$name.".bat", $output);

And

print_r($output);

returns

D:/files

If I place exec.php inside pdf folder, everything woks fine.

But not outside even if I provide the absolute path. etc...

Appreciate your help.

It could be that your .bat script requires or assumes a different current working directory.
