Hi
Sounds like a permission problem. You don't mention which HTTP server
you're using, but I know with Apache (and likely so with IIS also) PHP
can't run with 'Everyone' permissions as that is not the same as 'Anyone
at all'. If memory serves, Everyone is authenticated users + anonymous
users +
We used to use php 4 on our web server on win2000, and use the system()
to call some DOS programs. That how we call it:
$cmd = "c:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\test.exe";
$last_line = system($cmd, $retval);
print ("\nretval =\"". $retval. "\"\n");
It was working perfectly for years.
