<?php
$tempFolder = 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\remote\\';
$filename7Z = 'C:\\xampp\\7-zip\\7z.exe';
$sessionKey = 'iworked';
$commandtest = "dir";
//$commandtest = "'C:\\xampp\\7-zip\\7z.exe a " .$tempFolder. "c" .$sessionKey. ".7z C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\remote\\client\\' copy /b C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\remote\\support\\7zS.sfx+ C:\\xmapp\\htdocs\\remote\\client\\config.txt+".$tempFolder."c".$sessionKey.".7z c".$sessionKey.".exe'";
$output = shell_exec($commandtest);
$myfile = "test.txt";
$fh = fopen($myfile, 'w');
fwrite ($fh,"<pre>$output</pre>");
echo ("<pre>$output</pre>")
?>
