Hi everybody, this is my environment : Apache is installed on a Linux server
(RedHat9A) and
I launch the browser on a PC running WindowsXP to execute php scripts on the
Linux server.
I would run Win executables from this Linux-based Apache server.
Actually if I use exec() command running Linux commands, something like :
$command="mv /store1/www/file1.txt /store1/www/file2.txt";
exec($command, $ar_output, $res_command);
echo "res_command=". $res_command;
it returns : res_command=0 and all works fine.
The problem arises when I try to use the same exec command for running
applications in the PC, e.g.:
$command="C:\\P rograms\\WINEDI T.EXE";
exec($command, $ar_output, $res_command);
echo "res_command=". $res_command;
Now it returns : res_command=127 and it does not work ( = it does not start
WINEDIT.EXE)
What is missing or wrong in my job?
Any suggestion or hint will be very useful, thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Paolo

PHP is server side, it can't do anything at all on the (client) PC. If it
could it would be the biggest security hole ever made.
So what this basically means is that you're trying to run a windows command
on a linux box, which obviously isn't going to work.

So you have to download the Windows executable from your server and
start it manually after that.
Actually if I use exec() command [...]
exec() will always try to execute the given program on the server. You
can't start a program on the client with a PHP script running on the
server.

Windows binaries do not run under Linux, the same as MacOS programs can't
be run in Windows. Do you think people would stick to Windows so massively
if they could easily run Adobe Photoshop or Tomb Raider in any OS? ;-)

I don't seem to get any results from the following use

i m using Windows XP, and by tomorrow i will have have fedora core
installed too. the problem is, when i use these "fork() and exec()" my
windows doesnt do anything, python gives an error about the module,
the kind of error when u know u r wrong.
is it because these commands work on linux?
if so, is it better for me to stick with fedora for my python programs
or use windows?

I've narrowed the code to a problem with php/iplanet on linux. When I
run the following code from the command line "$status" comes back as
"0" as it should. However when I hit it with a browser, status is "-1".
Im guessing it has something to do with the way iplanet is invoking
php, or how php was compiled. Oddly enough I have the same setup
running on windows with php 4&5 and it always returns "0". Lucky for me
I suppose... Anyone know...

Hi There,
I'm trying to migrate a locally hosted page from windows to a private
Ubuntu development server and one of the key bits of functionality
(which used to work fine in Windows) was the ability for the page to
start a file browser via PHP's exec() function. I can't get this working
under Ubuntu though e.g.
<?php exec('nautilus /var/www'); ?>

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
