Hi, I'm quite new to php and I'm trying to execute a file with exec("executable.exe"); and nothing happens. I have win2k with apache 1.3.23 and php 4.1.1 (ISAPI). I read somewhere that running external programs with isapi is impossible. Is that true? I can still run system commands, i.e. system("dir *.*"); Why is that? Any ideas?
