Launching application from php script

[mmcomm]

Hello all,

I developed an internal website (hosted in a company server), which contains a few php scripts (forms users fill out and e-mail to others upon send). Currently, I have an e-mail instruction in the scripts, with a list of e-mail addresses. I would like to change this so users can launch Lotus Notes from the script upon sending, and choose to who send the form (instead of having fixed e-mails in the script). The company has given me the path where the .exe program resides on the server.

My question is the following: Is there any special code I must use around the path for the application to open, or do I just insert the path and delete the e-mail instructions.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

as far as integration(getting the emails) i'm not sure how you'll get it done, but to "run" a program(on the server), you can try www.php.net/exec

alternately... maybe there is a text file or db from lotus notes where the emails are stored and you can access that?

Thanks very much for your reply. I was out and just logged back in. Let me try the link you posted and I'll get back to let you know how it went.

Thanks again.
