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).

Any help would be much appreciated!
Sincerely
Kevin.
