try to execute batch file

[homer.favenir]

hi to all,

i have batch file:

 

@echo off
echo Hello this is a test batch file
pause

 

and its running well

 

what i want is to run this thru php, because i dont want user directly running it.

<?php
set_time_limit(0);
echo exec('C:\\commonfolder\\test.bat');
echo "Done!";
?>

 

it returned:

Press any key to continue . . .Done!

 

and there is no cmd window or no dos window.

 

how can i make the cmd window open when php runs.

 

thanks

You would need to grant your server the appropriate permissions and then execute your script via cmd.exe.

 

echo exec('cmd.exe C:\\commonfolder\\test.bat');
