Most likely you are falling foul of the spaces in "Program Files". Windows needs you to put spaces around any path that has spaces in it. e.g. "C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe" You can try this at the command prompt! If you type ... C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe -v you get ... 'C:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Wrapping it in quotes will show you the PHP version. There is a gotcha. In the event that the program name (C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe) _AND_ a parameter to the program have spaces in, then you would normally expect something like this ... "C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe" -f "C:\Program Files\Scripts\script.php" to work. And it does from the command line. But not when passed to the shell via the exec() method. This was fixed in PHP about 2 years ago (http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=260429), so if you are using a newer release of PHP, you can safely ... exec('"C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe" -f "C:\Program Files\Scripts\script.php"'); If not, then use ... exec('""C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe" -f "C:\Program Files\Scripts\script.php""'); That is exec(' " "C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe" -f "C:\Program Files\Scripts\script.php" " ' ); Richard. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
