Re: Problem with Exec()

Hello, Is there anybody in this conference who can tell me whether exec() will work under WinNT in future PHP releases? I am bound to use Windows. Currently I am working this around so that I have a daemon under NT. Daemon watches out for commands, written by PHP into a file, and does the exec() job on his own. PHP then reads results from another file .... It works, but I hate it ....
