hyster Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 is it possable to run a small vb6 app inside php similer to the way java is? it would need to be re-usable as the vb6 app is a form that pulls data from 3 .xlsx files and displays the result.

rwwd Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 if it's a console app, and your the author (ie nothing dodgy being done) you can use the shell() or exec() functions, and if this is on a live site, I would check with the hosts (read the small print) to see if they allow that type of content... Other than that, not sure, I have only flirted with this sort of stuff, ie used shell to run a program that I wrote to write a time stamp to a text file...

hyster Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 the app was written by a work mate (i no nothing about vb). the site is an intranet site and i can do basicly what i like with it. ive used php to run a bat file before but never got it to display any feedback from the file. what im thinking is that theres 2 ways to do this and i dont no if either way will work. 1) the app sit's inside php so i can see the form,input data and have data returned 2)send data to the form then have it return data to be displayed.
