Hi. I'm trying to make a open source kiosk like system. When the web browser starts all programs, it will run in the browser using PHP. I've found this link: Program execution Functions. It's using:
<?php
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run("WINWORD.exe", 7, false);
?>
I was able to start Microsoft Word on Windows, but I need to be able to do this on Linux. This is what I've tried on my Linux server:
<?php
exec("/var/www/test.sh");
?>
But nothing happens. I know that test.sh works because I ran if from the terminal. I use test.sh to start a Python script. The Python script starts a text editor. I've tested the Python script and it works. All I need know is how to start the script from PHP on Linux.
