The issue here is that when I tried to run the PHP here, I keep on seeing "Failed". Am I not supposed to execute exe files with this method? Any tip on this would be great.

Does the exe run from the command line with out php? Does the user that php is running at have permissions to run code and access all asscociated dirs? -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
