sam2222 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hello,This is I'm guessing a simple question so sorry but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.How can I execute a PHP script on windows from another PHP script? I know on linux you type PHP then the script name but on my windows computer it only works from command line when I type the full path to the directory with PHP in it, so is there a way to get PHP to tell me where it is or am I doing it all wrong?Thanks,Sam Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5315-php-script-execute-another-php-script-on-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman6003 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 You could try [a href=\"http://www.php.net/exec\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net/exec[/a].What are you doing that is going to be running for so long?
