Executing Bat files

[Anon]

The exec() function will not run bat scripts in windows. Is there a function that will run these scripts?

you can use back ticks.

as in

$returnVal = file.bat;

any output would go into $returnVal

Backticks are one way, but if you prefer the results of exec() you can use it by saying:

exec("cmd /c file.bat");
