A more controlled way to grant execute access to cmd.exe is to let IIS execute the script as a certain user, and then let that user have the right to execute whatever command is needed. When it comes to security, allways think in terms of restricting access on "need to know" basis. -----Original Message----- From: christian astrup bakke // chasm(.nu) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14-5-2004 12:02 Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Ping from PHP with shell_exec comando in IIS 5 and windows XP this is probably a shot in the dark, but i've been able to use ping, nslookup etc. through php by changing/giving the right permissions on the file cmd.exe ... on iis 6.0 (windows 2003 server). give the iusr_<machine> (or something similar) the appropriate/suitable permissions. my best guess at this stage. :) -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
