That is not a good solution - that way anybody can execute anything, from anywhere. If you uses ISS, then you can let certain pages run as certain user. Let the page that needs to do the shell execution run as a user that can run cmd.exe. Don't ask me how this is done with apache since I don't know. -----Original Message----- From: venkata ramana To: PHP-Windows Sent: 29-5-2004 19:29 Subject: Re: Can not execute exes from php After two days of google search and some other trials, I found the problem.
