Hi, Guys: Sorry about bothering everyone about this problem. It seems strange that now I try to create some arguments after what I tried to execute, it does not give me a thing.
I get no error messages. No output file, and only a blank screen when I put the following snippet into the PHP file.
$a= shell_exec("./test.exe -m$market -d$length");
echo $a;
What is odd is, I tired doing this by using a dos command prompt, it works entirely. Could anyone please give me a hint on what problem I am having now?
Thanks for the heads up.
