Executing an EXE file on the server

[Anon]

Hello,

I'll get right to the point... is it possible to execute a file on the server via a php script, given i have the proper permissions set (on an nt/2k server)...???

if so, what function can i use to do this? i need to execute a certain exe file with a certain command line:
eg- Execute "C:\folder\folder2\file.exe commandlineparameters"

can this be done via php???

yes, i do realize the security threat here, but there is no other way for this to be done :/ ... but that's ok, i'll live with the risk 🙂...

thanks!

try the exec() function. Look up the details in the manual. Because you're using Windows, permissions won't make a difference.
