Lamez Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have been playing around with PHP and learning a lot, and learned how it makes web designing easier when you are dealing with multi-pages. I was wondering is there a way I could trigger a batch file with a PHP file? I have uploaded a batch file to my webhost, and I want to turn it on, but can I do this by using a PHP file? I have heard it can be done, but how? -Thanks, James Little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neel_basu Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 exe files can only run in Windows (Micro****** Platform). and I think linux is Running on your Server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
