shell-exec

What are the main differences between the two? I'm willing to run only another EXE from my (C++) application. Are there any differences when inheriting environments, security features etc?

For example using of CreateProcess one can use command line which length is more as MAX_PATH . It has 32,768 characters restriction.

I have this shell program that I want to execute by php. The problem is that it can potentially take a long time, and as of that I need it to have real-time updating to the user's browser. I read that I may need to use popen() to do that, but I am sort of (ok, I really am :P) a PHP noob and can't figure out how I may be able to do it. Would appreciate any help! if( ($fp = popen("your command", "r")) ) { while( !feof($fp) ){ echo fread($fp, 1024); flush(); // you have to flush buffer } fclose($fp); } there are two possible behaviors: Non Block, where you need to do something else between flushs

I am executing a shell script from Java program. I have implemented it using Runtime class.

How can I achieve the same

How would I execute a shell script from PHP while giving constant/live feedback to the browser? I understand from the system function documentation: The system() call also tries to automatically flush the web server's output buffer after each line of output if PHP is running as a server module. I'm not clear on what they mean by running it as a 'server module'. Example PHP code: <?php system('/var/lib/script_test.sh'); Example shell code: #!/bin/bash echo "Start..." for i in {1..10} do echo "$i..." sleep 1 done echo "Done." What this does: It will wait about 10 seconds and then flush to the

How do I properly execute commands in the command line using php? For example I'm using the command below in the command line to convert a docx file into a pdf file: pdfcreator.exe /PF"D:\Documents\sample.docx Now using PHP code I want to be able to execute the same command but nothing seems to be happening: <?php shell_exec('pdfcreator.exe /PF"D:\Documents\sample.docx"'); ?> Is this possible in PHP?If yes, how do I do it? system("c:\\path\\to\\pdfcreator.exe /PF\"D:\\Documents\\sample.docx""); try this.
