Hi, I am running an Apache web server installed on Win2k. I am trying to use the PHP system() command but unfortunately it doesn't work on windoze! Ihave been told that I need to use the CGI interface by one of the PHP guys!! Can someone tell me how to do this on windows ? I ran the installer and didn't do any building myself! I will paste the mail I got below in case I am not making myself clear! MAIL: You can compile PHP as a CGI binary, with a configure line like this: ./configure --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-mysql --with-gd It's (Security wise) important to use the --enable-force-cgi-redirect If your compile succeed, copy it to your /home/httpd/cgi-bin dir, and voila, PHP as CGI. However, CGI's are much slower, so it would be wise to use the CGI interface only if you need to call system commands. I really can't give an estimate before system() will work, but it will be in php-4.0.5 (which is likely to be released in 5-6 weeks). Derick Any help would be much appreciated! Sincerely Kevin.
