Well, I'll tell you what I know. I can't run this program on any other server besides the one I have and my own computer. It works on my own computer, and the program works fine when i run it myself on the server. However, whenever I try to run it by script from the server, either by local host or accessing it from my own computer, it doesn't work. I have even tried to run a bat file which runs that program. No success.

No, it literally freezes right when it gets to exec. I've tried other combinations and other functions, it just seems whenever I attempt to run that program with php, it doesn't work.

I'm having trouble with the exec command (its a vps windows server). I use the code exec("start /b \"C:\path_to\program.exe\""); I run 3 command line programs using that same piece of code, and it seems to work perfectly fine. When I get to a normal windows program I have to run, it wont run. I even tried a bat file but that doesn't work either. The php script just is stuck at load unless I take that program out. Any suggestions?

It's a rather nasty problem. I've posted this on another board and nobody there knows the solution either. I have a "backup solution" which would make the alpha table hold the second largest time, and just do things based upon that, but it requires a lot of recoding to sync this value. It'd be much better if I just got it working all in one query.

Didn't work, sorry. It returned all beta entries, not one from table for each table alpha entry.

I was only giving a rough example. I need all the values that come with that entry in table_beta in the highest row.

Alright lets say I have two tables: table_alpha ----------- id table_beta ----------- alpha_id time Okay, the table beta table has multipule entries for each entry for table alpha. I need to get everything in table alpha, and then join one value from table_beta, which has the largest time value (im storing times in unix format). Anyone know a simple way of doing this?
