permission problem

Hello friends.... i have a problem in php. i am using dream weaver for doing php. in a page i wrote exec("notepad.exe"); and when i called the page from another system the notepad is executing in my system, not the system from which i called it. why is it so ? is this due to any permission problem of windows..

thanks.

Hi,
PHP is a serverside language, you can't remotely execute programs from the server.

But there is a way.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 header("Content-type: application/bat");

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=notepad.bat");

notepad.exe

this should work. but it's not recomended cos running bat scripts remotely is a very dodgy thing, (think format ;) )

hi,
basically clear all of your code and write only the code i gave you..

so the contents of the page will be

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?php

header("Content-type: application/bat");

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=notepad.bat");

notepad.exe

?>
