how to execute a .exe program by php script
- by user347262
hello
I want to execute a .exe file on my Apache server using a php script.
the procedure is as follow:
1- user comes, fills a html form
2- it goses to a php script
3- php script executes the name.exe file
4- php prints the output of the name.exe file on the page.
I execute the name.exe normally from windows like this:
run--> cmd--> D:\name [command]
the name.exe needs to communicate with other files like libraries in the same directory.
the complete comand in cmd at windows is like this:
D:\name library.dll [input from user]
then program executes and prints some results in cmd window.
I actually want to run this program on my server form my clients.
I dont know how, but I now there is a way to do this.
another related questoin is that, is there any shell that i can install on Linux server and execute name.exe in it?
thanks in advanced,
John.
