note 68129 added to language.operators.execution

Hi I am using a php application where when the user clicks a html button on a page, it should automatically open command prompt or run local system commands{either Linux/Windows} What i have done is , i have used WSH and Activex commands in Javascript to call cmd.exe and as soon as i press that button on the web page it automatically opens command prompt. but this is browser dependant and incompatible with other browsers. I also need to use the same code in my application when it is run on linux or unix os. So i need a way to open a shell or a command prompt in Linux and Windows from php . I am also sending parameters to the command prompt. Can you tell me if there is any other solution or possible method to this , Any help greatly invited Thanks for help in Advance Stranger ---- Server IP: 203.199.107.94 Probable Submitter: 210.210.13.126 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.execution.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68129 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68129/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68129/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68129/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68129/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68129/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68129/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68129 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68129 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
