php exec command hanging

[alanl1]

Hi All

I have a php exec command which runs SQLCMD as follows the sqlcmd command works great by itself but when i run it in php it hangs, any ideas

exec('c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c START C:\inetpub\wwwroot\batchfiles\export.bat');

this runs a sqlcmd batch file as follows

sqlcmd -S d3licsql02 -d TestData -U sa -P sqldba -Q "select * from dbo.newtable" -s "," -o "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cleansed\result.csv"

[trq]

It will hang until the process has completed.

but it takes less than half a second to run when i run it by itself, when it is in the php exec command it just hangs and hangs until an error is produced
