I need a piece of advice from PHP experts and I'm sure you can help me.
I want to start and then control a process in PHP CLI on Windows.
I decided to use proc_open as it is really powerfull. It works
perfectly but I get a DOS window every time a process is started.
(wich in my case is hundreds of times during the operation).
I tried the Run method of the WScript.Shell object because it has on option to
hide the DOS window but I cannot control the process after I started
it.
I tried the Exec method of the WScript.Shell, I can interact with the
process using the pipes (pretty much the same way proc_open does) but
I cannot hide
the DOS windows.
I prefer using proc_open because it is portable on Linux.
I thought I would solve my problem using the new option : bypass_shell
I tried the following :
$proc_options = array('bypass_shell' => "1");
//print_r($proc_options); //DEBUG
$pipes = array();
$process = proc_open($cmd, $descriptorspec, $pipes,
$current_working_dir, NULL, $proc_options);
But I still get the flashing DOS boxes.
BTW : I also tried $proc_options = array('bypass_shell' => true); but
I get an error : Warning: proc_open(): CreateProcess failed
Do you know how I could use proc_open without this DOS command window ?
I use : PHP 5.2.2-dev (cli) (built: Mar 6 2007 20:08:25)
And : Windows XP Home SP2
Thank very much for your answer.
