note 38156 added to ref.exec

Note to newcomers: do not specify the file name you are trying to run as part of the path. ie correct command: $exe = "start /D \"C:\\mysql\\bin\" /B mysqldump.exe"; dont get caught out by using: $exe = "start /D \"C:\\mysql\\bin\\mysqldump.exe"; It wont work! The /D parameter specifies the path to the file The /B parameter specifies the file to run ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38156 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38156&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38156&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
