Hi,
thank you very much for help. I will try this solution.
Do you believe there is still a way to use the exec() function of PHP ?

> I am running a WIMP configuration and I want to use exec() to call
mysql.exe via my PHP script to run a big sql script in the background. The
PHP script executes the sql script via mysql.exe but my PHP script hangs
until the mysql process has finished. Does anybody know how I can run the
exec() command totally in the background on a WIMP system ? (I tried a lot
with "2>1&" and "cmd/c" etc.)

If this script will only ever be run on Windows servers, you can use the
Windows-specific shell capabilities through the COM interface.
$shell = new COM("WScript.Shell") or die("This thing requires Windows
Scripting Host");
$shell -> Run($commandinquotes,$windowstate,$wait);
Replace $commandinquotes with your commandline that you want to run. Put
it in single quotes. Replace $windowstate with 1, 2 or 3 for normal DOS
window, minimized or maximized and $wait with 0 in your case because you
don't want PHP to wait for the process to finish.
You could abstract it further by turning the COM "Run" into your own
function. The below code hasn't been tested.
function win_exec($command, $windowstate, $wait) {
$shell = new COM("WScript.Shell") or die("This thing requires Windows
Scripting Host");
$shell -> Run($commandinquotes,$windowstate,$wait);
}
$command = getenv("COMSPEC").' /c c:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe <
> E:/Inetpub/wwwroot/update/load_logs.sql >
> E:/Inetpub/wwwroot/update/load_logs.log';
win_exec($command, "2", "0");

nope, hadn't tried it, thanks. I was looking for something that would do
that for me. I find it wierd that it would work on a host but not on my
comp. Thanks a lot. I'll get back to ya if it works or not

it's giving me this now:
Notice: Undefined index: game in C:\Xitami\webpages\index.php on line 5
Notice: Undefined index: game in C:\Xitami\webpages\index.php on line 8
because i'm opening index.php without using ?game=
is there anything I can do to not get it to say that? it's not reading
$_GET["game"] as NULL but as undefined instead.

if (!isset($_GET["game"])) {
$game = "?"; //well what was an expected situation for requests without game
var?
} else {
$game = $_GET["game"];
}
then carry on with the code.

I know that this isn't really the place to ask, but mabey someone knows:
Does anyone know, if it is possible WHIT a JAVASCRIPT to block the broncode
so that you can't see it at all (also when you would save the page)?
I know that there is a script of it in PHP format (if any one knwos were I
can get it, it would be nice) but I haven't found one yet specially fo java,
and it has to be java becuase it will be used for a site that don't accept
php.
So I really would like to know if anyone knows if sutch a script is really
there and were I can get it for java (and ofcourse also for PHP, as I asked
in this question before).
So (verry important) I need it so that when I go to my broncode there will
be nothing to view also when you save the page!!!
M.B.

The SAPI module for IIS is faster than the CGI, but still not quite as
stable. There are open bugs about the access violations you mentioned
on some versions of IIS... they're being worked on, but from what I can
see the errors make no sense, so its tough to track them down.
As far as a bazillion CGI errors go, I'd first make sure that you
followed the CGI install docs for IIS to the letter:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.iis.php#install.iis.iis4
And test it with a simple "hello world" php page:
<?php
echo "Hello world!\n";
?>
that should cut down on the number of errors you are getting. If the
diagnostic errors still make no sense, post them to the list and
somebody will probably have seen them before, and be able to point you
in the right direction.

Hello all,
I am in the process of changing my win 98 box to a 2000 box and am also
upgrading from apache 1.3.23 to 1.3.26. Unfortunatly I took the easy route
and simply copied my old httpd.conf file over the existing httpd.conf. All
is fine except Apache has a problem with the line:
"LoadModule php4_module c:/Program
Files/Apache/Apache/php/sapi/php4apache.dll"
Apache says "Load module takes 2 arguments..."
Can anyone help me with what I have done wrong? This works with 1.3.23 but
not with 1.3.26, do I need some kind of seperator in this line to specify
that it is 2 arguments?
Thanks alot,
Steve.

Hello,
Would someone give me an example of using sendmail from PHP instead of the
