note 52395 added to function.exec

Replying to netshadow at madpoets dot org, instead of using some external tool like psexec, you can just use the Windows native command "start". exec("start blah.bat"); which will start blah.bat in the background and return to the PHP script immediately. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52395 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52395&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52395&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52395&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52395&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52395&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52395&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
