Help! Can't execute system commands on Windows XP with PHP
highvoltz replied to highvoltz's topic in PHP Coding Help
personal use... I'm making a front end, almost like a desktop for a home computer.. -
Hey guys, Having a ton of trouble getting apache/php to run system commands on a windows XP machine. PHP works fine, I used the downloads from this website for the install / dlls. The problem is, I'm trying to develop a front end that uses AJAX/Javascript to run system commands to applications such as winamp, so forth. I'm not sure if the problem is permissions or what. I've tried millions of combinations that I've read about, but no go. It may be the way I need to run apps on Windows?The script will just execute with no problem, no errors, however the app will not show. if someone could show me how to run say windows calculator (calc.exe in system32) where it runs and opens on the screen that would be great. I've spent many hours getting no where.. help!! BTW, I went to apache because I had the same problem with IIS... Thanks! Tom
