start mysql with php or javascript

[frenchy373]

Hello

Is it possible to start a local mysql in a php file like that
c:\mysql\bin\mysqld --standalone --basedir=%%c:\mysql --datadir c:\mysql\data --port=3000

and to shutdown
c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin --user=root --port=3000 shutdown

thank you

Technically, you could use the [man]exec()[/man] function, but I'm not quite sure why you'd need to start up and shutdown a MySQL server.

The idea with a server is that it's constantly running.

hello

I need to make a cd with php and mysql runing on cd
I found microweb to support this but it is not free

I found badblue but I must start and stop mysql because badblue doesn't do it

so I make a index.php :
<?php
$start= c:\badblue\start.bat;
echo "<pre>$start</pre>";
?>

and a start.bat :
e:\badblue\Pe\mysql\bin\mysqld --standalone --basedir=e:\badblue\pe\mysql --datadir=e:\badblue\pe\mysql\data --port=3000
exit

so it is ok for the start but the question now is how can I run a stop.bat when user close the window ?

stop.bat :
e:\badblue\Pe\mysql\bin\mysqladmin --user=root --port=3000 shutdown
exit

thank you for your help
