shell-exec

I'm running on win2003 server, PHP 526, via the cmd-line. I have a cmdline string: $cmd = ' "d:\Prog Files\foo.exe" -p "d:\data path\datadir" '; Trying to do this in php code $out = `$cmd`; # note use of backticks AKA shell_exec results in a failure by foo.exe as it interprets the -p arg as "d:\data". However, the same $cdm string copied to the windows shell cmdline executes successfully. How do I properly handle spaces in PHP shell_exec ? Use escapeshellarg() to escape your arguments, it should escape it with an appropriate combination of quotation marks and escaped spaces for your platform

I've managed to get WIX to launch my application on exit, but not sure how to schedule two custom actions using the WixShellExecTarget property. One CA is to launch an app and the other is a web page based on a url from another CA. These are both launched if the appropriate checkboxes are checked. <!-- Custom action for executing app --> <Property Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#Application.exe]" /> <CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="WixShellExec" Impersonate="yes" /> <!-- Custom action for executing Webbrowser --> <Property Id="???" Value="[CONFIGWIZARDURL]" />

I have Powershell syntax that can get data using ReadExisting(), but the problem is... that syntax must compele php condition before (and some shell_exec syntax when page load) I trying Get COM1 Data using powershell, and its working with this code cmd powershell in that image, the first ReadExisting() can't declare the output because the device in COM1 not showing new result, when the devices show the result, trying the ReadExisting() again and i get what i want. So (what in my opinion) the logic i should implement on PHP is : - Execute $port and $port.Open() first - Execute ReadExisting()

The Problem I have a PHP script that uses shell_exec to run a pdf-to-text converter. To simplify the problem I've created a short script that uses shell_exec to just echo the output of the dir command. <?php $cmd = 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe /c '; echo shell_exec($cmd.' dir'); ?> When I run this on my Apache server, everything works as expected. When I switch to IIS, it's as though the line is skipped entirely: no errors, no output, no logs, no nothing. Unfortunately, I need to use IIS because I'm going to authenticate my users against active directory. Here's what I've tried so far:

I am trying to run a command using shell_exec but its not returning any output. When I copy the command into command prompt it works like a charm. Here is the command I'm trying to run. $result = shell_exec('android update project -p "C:\xampp\htdocs\appBuilder" -t 1'); $result is returning an empty string. When I run the command in command prompt, it shows a message saying the build.xml file was generated successfully. It should be showing the success message in $result . If I run just the command android update project -p "C:\xampp\htdocs\appBuilder" -t 1 in command prompt, it works. FYI:
