cgalive Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 hey guys umm... all I want to do is to make a stylish web page with a few icons on it which when clicked on, a request will be sent to php and then according to that request, an application will be launched my problem is no matter what i do, that application wont be launched! the execution line would be somethin like this: system ("mspaint"); well, when i run the script, mspaint wouldnt open and then it times out! i use windows vista, php5, apache 2 when i run the script directly on php.exe it works, but not on apache! i gave apache service a full administrator user on the services, and it still doesnt work! and i googled a lot, couldnt find anything. I'd really appreciate it if someone helps, thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174910-launch-an-external-program-via-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
