firemike Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I think he is referring to using something like exec(). http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50434-how-to-execute-files-on-linux-with-using-php-code/#findComment-248706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Yes you can use exec or other ralted functions to execute executables (external programs) in Linux (and windows for that matter). The point neel_basu was trying to make is that Linux does not use (nor need) file extensions. Programs with the .exe extension are made for windows.
