Executing an exe

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi. I have some bizarre problem with exec (other any other method) to launch exe's. I am making a game server booking system and the part that is not working is the one with the launching the server itself. Its not connected to the server exe's as far as I know because I can't launch no exe at all. The closes thing I have come is launching the process, but the window does not show up. Here is the code I am using now:
Code: [Select]$commandString = 'start /b notepad.exe';
pclose(popen($commandString, 'r'));I have also tried WshShell.Run and psexec.exe method. All of them yields the same results... nothing. It launches the process (it shows up in the task manager process tab), but does not launch the application itself (does not show up in task managers applications tab) and the window is not visible. I would expect it to run the exe (in this case notepad), but it doesn't. I think it could be something to do with php.ini or somewhere else in the configs. Are there any things I should turn on when I want to launch apps?
