Running DOS commands with PHP?

[stevea]

Hi All,

I would like to be able to run DOS commands from a PHP web application.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so, the functions I will need to know?

Thanks!

exec("copy c:\file.txt c:\file1.txt");

Or you could use system() or backticks ``.
