Launching An Application: Does PHP Limit Network Connections?
I am having a problem using PHP to launch an application on the server.
All the basics work, but I cannot launch more than 4 instances of the
application. This application functions as a server itself, and I
specify the port number when I launch it, so my theory is that I am
reaching some limit on network connections.
This is my basic launch sequence:
<?php
$command = 'c:Program Files (x86)myprogmyprogram.exe'
$arguments = ' /Port:' . $port;
exec('C:PsToolspsexec.exe -accepteula -d -s "' . $command . '" ' .
$arguments . ' 2>&1', $output);
?>
Note that I am using psexec because I need to keep track of the process
ID number and kill the application when a user logs out. I can provide
more details if needed, but if there is indeed some upper limit on port
connections, that would certainly explain what I'm seeing.
Incidentally, if I try this same procedure launching "Internet
Explorer", my limit is 9 (instead of 4). If I launch a non-network
application, it seems that I can launch as many as I want without limit.
Note: I am using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP1

Launching Application
I developed an internal website (hosted in a company server), which contains a few php scripts (forms users fill out and e-mail to others upon send). I have an e-mail instruction in the scripts, with a list of e-mail addresses. I would like to change this so users can launch Lotus Notes from the script upon sending, and choose to who send the form (instead of having fixed e-mails in the script). The company has given me the path where the .exe program resides on the server.

Launching Second Script When First One Finishes
I have numerous PHP scripts that connect to our Oracle database and export csv files. The amount of time it takes for each script to finish varies. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes, sometimes 30 seconds. I would like to figure out a way to have the first script run and when it finishes, launch the second script and so on and so on.

Launching Files Locally
I have PHP and Apache installed on a windows box that is attached to my home theater. I wrote some code that indexes the contents of a directory that has some video clips etc in it, and the outputted HMTL is nothing more than a series of hyperlinks to these files, with some CSS to liven it up a bit. The problem is this: when I click on one of the links, rather than launch the file, it attempts to "download" it (even though the file resides right there on the machine anyway). In my hyperlinks, I specified to use the "file:" protocol instead of HTTP. I really just want it to launch the file.

Launching PHP From HTML Form
i build an app using PHP/MySQL/web. the APP and PHP programm are both located on the CD. step 1: i want it to a first interface (installation phase) to be an HTML page. step 2: I want it to get some informations for the installation step 3: i want the form to launch a PHP page (on the CD) and using the PHP.exe (on the CD) step 4: the PHP page send my modules using FTP step 5: once the FTP transfert is finished, the PHP page open a new page (that has been just uploaded) on the web server. my problem is in step 3, how is it possible to launch a PHP script from an HTML page which is not on a web server?? I can do it easily with a SHELL script but i prefer the graphic interface of an HTML form. I know it is either possible using GTK but i don't want to use it because i'm not surre the client has a JVM.

Launching Community Site
I'm creating a community website, and I want the following features: - members are able to write reviews - members are able to post classified ads (I'd like to be able to charge money for this) - ability in the future to create groups within the community. Can anyone suggest a content management system (CMS) or other off-the-shelf solution? Drupal springs to mind, but then I don't have a lot of experience with these kinds of builds, so I may be missing something that is out there.

Put A Job Application On Our Website For People To Apply Online Via This Application.
We are trying to put a job application on our website for people to apply online via this application. Got all that communicating and recording to SQL as desired (i think and hope) but have now one small issue remaining. We have more than one position open, so what we thought we would do is one one page list the jobs that are open at the time with their descriptions, salaries, etc..., with an "Apply Now" button that when clicked on would take them to the application page. My question is, how could I make it automatically carry over the job they clicked on to automatically populate a "Position Applied For" field in the application?

Launching A Background Script From Php In Windows/IIS
I'm trying to build a PHP page which launches another php script to be run in the background. The web page should return immediately, while the background script may run for 10 minutes or something. Unfortunately I'm getting all kinds of weird behaviour.. In my main script I'm using exec() (also tried the other options) to start a ..bat file. This actually works, the batch file is launched and is able to write something to disk.. Now if I put the following line in the batch file: c:phpphp.exe -q backgroundscript.php then instantly I'm seeing about 30 php.exe processes being created, but nothing seems to be happening really. The processes seem to be dying immediately and replaced by new ones. So apparently php is trying something but fails and tries again. Both the script and the batch file work fine from the command line. Group 'Everyone' has read/execute rights for the batch file, the php script and php.exe. I have tried prefixing the command with START /b or cmd.exe /c but neither seem to make any difference. Also I tried redirecting stderr, stdout and stdin to NUL Server is Win2k, IIS5, php4.3.0. Searched the php docs, tried suggestions but it doesn't work, maybe because they use Apache. My guess is that the anonymous user IUSR_* doesn't have the rights to do something, but I can't figure out what.

Launching Several CURL Posts Without Waiting To Download Pages..
Hy there, ok, i`ll get to the problem: My php script has a function named curl(some curl options and instructions), it doesn`t matter that, what it matters: $var1 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage1.php"); $var2 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage2.php"); $var3 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage3.php"); $var4 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage4.php"); Ok, so it downloades the content of somepage_.php to the $vars, however somepage_s_.php contains several scripts which takes a verry long time for the page to download, so my script waits for each page to download, one by one, as line by line, what i would like do rezolve is to start the curl without waiting to download the first page, then the second and so on, it should start the download of all the pages at almoust the same time. That would be all, please help, i`ve lost 4 nights trying to get this fixed but no luck.

Fill Out Application - Pay - Submit Application
Well, I'm working with a client right now who has an application form, which upon completion, is submitted to her, and then the applicant is redirected to a page to make an initial payment for her services. Her problem is that when people send the application, a lot of times they don't pay, which makes it lame for her to have to sift through all of them. What I am trying to do is make it so one form contains the application, takes them to the area to pay, and once they hit the button to pay with, the form is submitted.

PHP And Network Programming...
I'm sort of like stucked here with some architecture that I need to come out with. Currently I'm planning to develop a system that will enable the manager to be notified and take action on a certain kind of transactions that I want to do. First of all, I'm trying to connect the PHP socket to a server which is running at a manager's office. Well, let's consider that the IP for that office is a fixed ip. My problem will be if the particular manager's computer is within a LAN itself, they would have their own ip by themself. I can't develop the program that will connect to the PC within the LAN because the program will not be able to find the server that is within the LAN itself. anyone with any ideas on how to do this? it had been torturing me for the past few weeks, just hope that I can just walk out of this torture chamber in one piece.

Get A List Of Network Interfaces In PHP?
I've got a utility I'm working on, and I want to be able to list for the user all the current network interfaces on the machine. Is there a way to do this in PHP? PHP 5.0.3, Mandriva Linux 2005 (2.6 kernel). I'm not actually in front of the machine in question, and I don't recall the minor kernel version, or the minor version of Mandriva... Any thoughts? I'd prefer not to have to run the script as root, incidentally. I realize I could run as root and then just parse the output of ifconfig, but I assume there's a more intelligent way to go about what I'm trying to do. The purpose of this utility is to allow me to issue a ping, from a specified interface (including virtual interfaces, e.g., eth0:1), and test for connectivity from the webserver to the the address i am pinging, through the specified network interface (rather than always pinging from the default/primary interface of the machine). Any thoughts? How would I go about this? I haven't been able to come up with a way to do this, short of running as root and parsing ifconfig, as I mentioned above.

It seems that the instruction is jumped. I guess it isn't a PHP problem because when i make: <?php ... exec('C:WINDOWSNOTEPAD:EXE'); ... ?> NOTEPAD is correctly opened. Probably the problem has to do with the way the 'Path' is typed.

LAMP On A Local Network
I'm new to all this and I am trying to set up a web sever over a local network. I currently have two boxes attached via a switch. Box 1 is configured with windowsXP and the other with Fedora3. The linux box has Apache installed and appears to be running ok. When I use IE to access the site I get the response : "Page cannot be displayed" or "The web page you requested is not available offline" depending what is entered in the address control. On the Linux box, if I use the command netstat -atn, this shows a host 192.168.123.10 listening on port 80 In the terminal window on the XP box, (192.168.123.12) when I ping 192.168.13.10 I get a successful response. If I telnet 192.168.123.10 80 I get "could not open connection to the host on port 80:connect failed" Does anybody have any suggestions /commands that will help me resolve this.

Accessing Files/dir On A Windows Network
I need to access files on a Windows network. So basically the location would be serverdir1dir2 or something like that. I'm running this PHP script on a different server (call it serv2) that runs IIS. My code is something like this: $dir = "serverdir1dir2"; if (is_dir($dir)) { echo "IS DIR! "; if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { /*More stuff*/ It doesn't even recognize it as a directory. Now I figure the problem is authentication. Basically all users in a domain (call it 'allusers') can access server and these files. But the scripts in serv2 (the one where PHP runs) is authentication anonymously using the account ISUR_SERV2, which is an account local to the serv2 server and not in the domain 'allusers'. So I tried authenticating just this script using an account in the allusers domain (my own). However it still doesn't work. And I know for a fact that serv2 is connected to the network.
