How to call VB application from PHP

[Anon]

Hi folks,

I try to work on something by calling a VB application from PHP and passing in some argument. Can anyone tell me how ?

I have try something like exec("C:..\appname.exe"); ... but it seem like not working. Somemore, how can i pass in the command line argument ?

Thanks !

You need to put the path and parameters in quotes. That way windows won't interpret the spaces in the path as the end of the path...

exec("\"C:\Windows\Pbrush.exe\" \"C:\windows\clouds.bmp\"");

That would open mspaint with the clouds wallpaper.
