I am trying use PHP to run an application on Windows XP Pro machine. The

shell_exec and system commands.

How can I get my Application to execute when it is called through Apache?


example code:
system("notepad.exe");
You may have the same problem I did when trying to use Winzip. You need to tell Windows to allow the service to interact with the desktop.

Run - services.msc. Right click on your Apache service - select Properties and then the Log on tab. Check - Allow service to interact with desktop

Eww!! Eww!! and thrice EWW!! There is *never*, and I mean *never* an acceptable reason to run a GUI app in response to a web request - even on an Intranet.

*NEVER!!!!*
