Hi,

I am trying to call an application from php. I have tried exec() and
system() and even popen() all to no avail.


Can an application be called if it brings up a window? The app I am
calling has a command line interface, but it insists on bringing up
it's standard window also.


At the moment the .exe file displays in Windows Task Manager in the
Processes tab.

The PHP script hangs (until timeout) and the .exe doesn't do the job it
should.

I am probably being daft )

Thanks in advance for any help or tips,
Mike Youell.
