Re: Is it possible to execute a unix command from PHP

OK, I'm stupid. How could you run *any* type of UNIX command on a Windows NT system? You're not running UNIX, you're running Windows. A UNIX program will not run under Windows. A Windows program cannot run under UNIX (well, there is VMWare & WINE, but I'm not counting them right now). Are you asking is there a way for PHP running on Windows/Apache to cause another system which is running UNIX to run a command? If that is the question, then try looking at the "rexec" command. Unfortunately, I don't think that the standard version of WindowsNT contains this command. But I'm not sure. I'm not very Windows literate anymore.
