Running External Scripts

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

I am very new to PHP and am not even sure what I'm asking is possible. I have just installed mediaWiki on my site and I'm trying to install some extensions. In order to install the Search functionality extension I have to run some scripts. Since it's not my server I wanted to use php to execute these Unix Executable Files that came with the package. Do I use system('file_name')? and browse to the site I have with this php within it? These are probably really lame questions, and I apologize design is more my forte and I'm just now learning the language. Thanks for any help!
