Hi Alice
First, make sure about the value on $market and $length. Yeah, it's simple.
echo $market;
echo $length;
$a= shell_exec("./test.exe -m$market -d$length");
echo $a;
Second: "http://www.chipmunkninja.com/Program-Execution-in-PHP:-exec-m@@";
A good explanation to use external commands (thanks chip!)
Third: give us more information: PHP version, OS. Maybe this time can be
useless, but important for future questions.
(sorry about my poor english)
