Running GCC

[Anon]

I amd in Windows 2000 Pro running apache. I am trying to run the gcc compiler from PHP. I have tried exec(), passthru, and the backticks and none of theme work. PHP will just not do anything when I try to use the compiler. I have also tried writing bat scripts ans short C++ programs to see if PHP could run those, no luck. Does anyone know what the problem could be.

I've had the same problems, except I'm on a Win98 box. I also tried shelling BATs and SYSTEM commands. Nothing seems to work.

I am having the same problem.... does anyone out there have a solution??

Well, I got it working... my problem was just that I had to redirect standard error to standard output. Use 2>&1 in the command line when you call it.
exec('/usr/bin/gcc code.c 2>&1') and that worked.
