Win 32 prob.

Hi, I'm trying to call a batch file from PHP after a file has been uploaded. If I go to a command prompt on the machine it works properly but wont work from the web server. As I have never done this before can anyone help.

Here is the code I am using:-

$file_dir="c:/inetpub/wwwroot/pdf/";
$name=$file_dir.$fupload_name;

if (isset($fupload) )
{

copy ( $fupload, "$file_dir/$fupload_name") or die ("Could not copy");

}
Print "<h2>File Copied</h2>";

Print"<br><br><br>";

exec("cmd.exe http://djvkir1psv1/cgi-bin/bin/ps2pdf.bat ".$name."&nbsp;".$file_dir."test.pdf");

In case you are wondering I am trying to get my website to convert .ps files to .pdf's 🙂

Thanks a lot folks.

The .bat file cannot be in a remote machine - it has to be local. So you'll have to download the .bat file from djvkir1psv1 and put it on your server. Then the exec() command will look like:

"cmd.exe ps2pdf.bat"

assuming they are in the same directory...
