The manual entry for shell_exec has a comment that notes to execute .bat
files with shell_exec, you need to pass the command through cmd.exe with
the /c argument. I was wondering if anyone could share some insight on
why that is.
I've pretty much verified that this is the case. I can't execute .bat
files at all from a Windows 2003 server running IIS. I can locally on
my development workstation (XP running Apache). I've tried passing the
command through cmd.exe on the server, but some of the commands in the
.bat file does not run properly when going through cmd.exe.
I suspect that IIS is a key culprit, but I have nothing concrete. I'd
like to take a plausible theory to the IT guys before I request that
they install Apache on that box.
Thanks for any insight anyone might have.
