Run a .exe with input parameters from PHP web page

Question

I\'m currently trying to get an executable to run from within a PHP web page (currently using exec()). The program takes two arguments when run from the command

Answer 1

basic PHP syntax error: you're using the wrong quotes. Use double-quotes instead.

exec("C:\wamp\www\web_dev\test\my_program.exe $argument");
     ^---                                              ^---

single quotes (') do NOT interpolate variables into the string. You're trying to pass a literal $, a, etc... as an argument, not the value of that variable.
