ID: 9954 Updated by: jmoore Reported By: dave973@netzero.net Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Program Execution PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: does the batch file work if you run it from the command prompt without PHP? - James Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-23 09:09:08] dave973@netzero.net Platform/configuration = (NT4/SP6) I have created a batch file that opens MS Access and runs a macro... This macro does 3 things: 1. Deletes a table 2. Imports a delimited text file into a new table 3. Quits Access and Saves All changes. Here is the batch file: REM Defines a path for the Microsoft Access executable PATH = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice" REM Starts Microsoft Access and runs the macro. START /WAIT Msaccess.exe "C:inetpubwwwrootwebcolorwebcolor.mdb" /x "Importer" EXIT When I call this .bat file with the exec() or system() functions, the browser hangs and when I check the Task Mgr... I have php.exe, CMD.exe, and msaccess.exe all hanging (and I also can not end the processes - Access is denied). For every page access, an addition 3 processes open and hang. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
