Hi, some tips for using a system()-call for batch files on a windows computer: * Write the path to the executable with double back-slashes, like so: C:\\path\\to\\prog.exe * If you are refering to other pathes, e.g. as a parameter, one back-slash works fine. * Do not use SET for declaring parameters - this does not work! Example: SET PATH="C:\path\to\lib" echo path is %PATH% This works fine when started from the comand line, but when called from PHP, the variable is just empty. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30053 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30053 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30053
