Sorry mate, I assumed that's what you were doing, sorry!! There was a message similar to this a while ago where someone wanted to exec something on the users PC.
exec('c:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe > empty.file'); Should do the trick. I take it winamp was loading but the page would hang? PHP waits for exec to finish first. Rerouting the output to a blank file should do the trick. Hope it helps Ross -----Original Message----- From: Yaroukh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 October 2001 15:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Exec() again This works: Exec("mkdir myDirectory"); ... this doesn't: Exec("C:\\Program Files\\WinAmp\\winamp.exe"); -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
