PHP exec() and Zipping Upload file in Windows

I have the following code. What I need is to zip the file
(c:\web\upload\ someFile) to d:\web\someFile .zip.

$cmd = 'c:\zip\zip.exe '. $movedFile. ' '. $finalFile;
exec( $cmd, $cmd_output );

File is being uploaded by the apache server, but it's not being zipped.
My guess "\", escaping, is causing problem in windows path. Do I also
have to escape the $movedFile content? Forexample $movedFile=
"c:\web\upload\ someFile".

I have the feeling that it's not because of the escape string.
If the string is already in a variable, PHP won't take account of the
escape sequence
(coz it's already escaped).
Anyway, PHP only escape strings that are surrounded by double quote (")
not single quote (')

to manage and create zip files , use the zip extension available since
php 5.2.0 or via PECL (and pecl4win if you are using windows)

I have a script which allows a user to upload a file. The script does some filename editing, mimetype checking, etc., and it's then supposed to send the file to a remote server, without any username/password prompt ( I have root access to both servers ). I'm trying to run an exec/passthru command using scp or rsync, but there's one fundamental question that I can't answer. When exec is called from the command line, e.g. `php...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
