Executing External Programs
I know all the different functions that allow me to execute an external progam, however I have come across and interesting problem that I need to fix if it is at all possible. Is there a way that I can use the php functions and execute an external program by some other user other then who ever owns the apache process?

ImageMagick And Executing External Programs
I have installed ImageMagick and GhostScript (Windows/IIS) and IM is working from the command line (specifically the convert command) so now I need to get it working in php. To that end I have the following code: <?php system("c:Program FilesImageMagick-6.3.4-Q16convert.exe c:InetpubwwwrootexpgraphicsimgMagick est_file.ai c:InetpubwwwrootexpgraphicsimgMagickAIC.png",$retvar); echo $retvar; // Now you can check the $retvar for errors ?> c:Program FilesImageMagick-6.3.4-Q16convert.exe - the root folder for IM, location of convert.exe c:InetpubwwwrootexpgraphicsimgMagick est_file.ai - the location of the target image to use for conversion c:InetpubwwwrootexpgraphicsimgMagickAIC.png - the location, name, and format for the converted image Using the above code, it does not create a new png image. Before I set the permissions for the Internet Guest Account user to "read & execute" for the cmd.exe file located at C:WINDOWSsystem32, $retvar was echoing a value of -1. Once I set the permissions on C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe, $retvar is echoing a value of 1. In either case, the new graphic is NOT generated. Is there something wrong with my syntax?

Executing External Programs From PHP4 On Windows98 With Apache 1.3.14 For Win32
I did a search, and did not find anything specific on this topic, so here goes: Trying to create a webpage button or link that when pressed executes Win98's "dialer.exe" with a phonenumber as a passed parameter. From my understanding, the exec function in PHP seems to work best with Linux (correct me if I am wrong please!). Are there alternatives? The other bit of knowledge I have not been able to find (and really is outside this forum), is that dialer.exe is supposed to accept control from external programs, but I have yet to find docs or examples of such.

Executing Programs On A Server
i've written a c++ program that converts one file type to another via two arguments (the input and output filenames). i want to execute this on my server, using something like exec("myprogram.exe $arg1 $arg2"); but then I realized my server is linux, and my program was compiled for windows. so I uploaded the .cpp instead, and now i'm trying to compile it doing something like exec("gccp hello.cpp"); which returns an exit code 127... not really sure what that means. I'm guessing I probably don't have permission to be creating files on my server...is there anyway I can change this permissions or anything?

External Programs
I have just installed my first Linux distribution (SUSE 10.0). Everything is compiled as far as Apache, Mysql & PHP is concerned. But, I have this problem: I call system commands through PHP using system, shell_exec etc The thing is that PHP responds OK when it comes to 'ls' or 'grep' or 'wget', but, in another program, not UNIX-native, there is no response. I am sure that the program is set up in the PATH, because, if I open a terminal, I can call it from everywhere and it works fine.

Multiple External Programs
I have a php script which when executed calls an external program. The external program goes off and figures some things out and the output of the program is returned as as an array to the calling PHP program. Next a second external program is called and the process is repeated. This goes on for 4 external program calls. The arrays are then analyzed and the results are outputted. Since the 4 external programs are independent of each other but each takes 3 5 minutes to run, I would like to run them all at the same time and then, when they are all done, proceed with the rest of the analysis.

Executing Multiple Shell Commands Via One Exec()-call
I wrote a PHP shell script under Linux which puts all existing [E]PS-Files within a directory into a list and should then start a single Ghostview window for each file. Sounds simple, but it's not: The following code provides for about half of the functionality I wanted: ==============code starts $bla = array(); foreach ($filelist as $file) { $bla[] = fopen("./trash/".$file.".tmp", "w"); exec ("gv ".$file." &", $bla); } ===============code ends Here, all files are opened one after another. The next file opens only after closing the current one. Actually I don't know whether the redirection of the output towards .tmp-files complies with the intended purpose of the redirection. The PHP manual states that when starting programs in background, the output would have to be redirected to a stream or file, otherwise PHP would continue to run until the respective program is terminated (which I really wouldn't care about at all, if it did so...). Then I thought about writing the line I would type manually for opening all ps-files ('gv bla1.ps & ; gv bla2.ps&; ...') into a string and then executing that string: ===============code starts $command=""; $bla = fopen("./trash/tmp", "w"); foreach ($filelist as $i => $file) { if ($i < count($filelist) - 1) { $command = $command."gv $file & ; "; } else { $command = $command."gv $file &"; } } exec ($command, $bla); ===============code ends sadly I get an error message from the shell: ================ error message starts sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;' sh: -c: line 1: `gv uges_Boden.ps & ; gv ux_Boden.ps & ; gv uy_Boden.ps &' ================ error message ends

Exec And Shell_exec Not Executing Batch File Properly
I am running Apache and PHP on windows XP. Latest versions of them all. I am trying to execute a simple .bat batch file that simply copies 4 files from one location to the batch files location. The php exec command runs like this: V:Corehtdocswp ransfer.bat Y:folder here the batch file is executed and the command following is thrown into the batch file to specify where the files that need to be copied are. The Y: directory is in windows considered to be a network drive, although it is really just a folder on the same machine, i did this because there are spaces in the folder names on its way to where I need the information copied from i.e. "Program Files" When I run this in the command prompt by entering this in manually it runs perfectly. However when running exec in the PHP script nothing happens; when I run shell_exec it gives me the output and it shows that every line in the batch file is executed however it does not actually copy anything. Looking into my apache error log I see that this is related: "The system cannot find the drive specified." Now what I am wondering is, how is it that I can run this script manually but apache tells me I cannot. My permissions are set to allow all and deny nothing since it is a machine well tucked into a safe place. Apache resides on the machine in C: eactorcore and it also setup a virtual drive as v:core. Trying both does not work.

Exec() Call To External Program
We are trying to use the exec() or system() calls in a php script. The program we are trying to call takes 1 parameter in the form of: email@domain.com[usercode] There are no spaces in the parameter at all and we have tried placing quotes around just to see if it mattered. We have also modified the parameter just to send it hello. Here is what we get: With no parameters the php script executes the program where it displays the error message from the program stating that not enough parameters were supplied. We then add the word "hello" to the end after a space so the command looks like this: command "hello" and the program no longer executes at all. No matter what we do, if we supply an argument to the command the php code will not execute the program.

Warning: Ftp_exec() [function.ftp-exec]: SITE EXEC Is An Unknown Extension

PHP Calling Programs On AS/400
I have a website (running on a linux machine) that currently makes use of JSP to access data on an AS/400. I've found information telling me that after setting up ODBC drivers on the linux server I'll be able to access the databases on the AS/400 however I've not found any information about executing programs on the AS/400. I've looked at the docs for exec, passthru, etc. and it appears those will only work on the local operating system. Is it possible for a PHP page to execute a program on a remote machine? If so, how does PHP handle the ASCII <--> EBCDIC conversion for parameters passed and returned?

I use this way to send data and always works. (wamp5). I checked the services wampapache and wampmysqld and both are working then i tried printing phpinfo() and it works too.

Submit Standalone Programs With Php
I'm building an application which submits scheduled php jobs. The way I would like it to work is to have one php program to submit the other php programs on a scheduled basis. This control program shouldn't have to wait until one job finishes before it can start the next one; instead, it should be able to submit all the jobs in one go, but it also needs to be able to be informed of the return codes of the submitted programs so dependent programs can be submitted too. I've looked at the exec() and system() commands, but they either don't seem to allow return codes to be returned from a submitted program to the submitter program or they unconditionally print anything the submitted programs produce.

Sparse - New Framework For MySQL Programs
I believe I posted this once before, but enough has changed that I'm doing it again. 8-) I have been working on a project called Sparse, a framework specifically for creating PHP/MySQL programs. It is designed with usability in mind - it is meant to be as easy to use as possible. Essentially, the majority of the backend is already done for you, and you can design and configure your website using a few extra HTML tags. It's also very flexible - you can easily integrate it with regular PHP code right in the file. The new version also prints out every form in degradable Ajax, meaning that those users without Javascript ability will use the regular functionality. The end result is far less code, meaning less development and maintenance time, fewer errors, and more ease in changing things around.
