Josh, Believe it or not, I found an effective way to do that with a batch script! But PHP works better :)
One of the easiest ways in PHP is to use the backtick method - the ` character (just like in unix). Example: <pre> <?php echo `ping blah.host.com`; ?> </pre> Works great. -Dash -----Original Message----- From: Evans, Josh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 11:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] executing windows command with php what would be the best way to ping a host and return the output to a webpage? -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
