Execute Windows programs via PHP

[swene]

Hi.

Is there any sort of module or plugin for PHP that can enable it to execute programs when it's asked?

This would be very handy for remote administration of a system without overhead applications running 24/7.

Please assist. Thanks

exec();
system();
passthru();
command // Those are tick marks, not single quotes

I was hoping to be able to execute 32bit applications. Is there any way of doing that? I tried using the method you pointed out above but unfortunately that only applies to command line programs and not 32bit.

Please provide inspiration 🙂
