Re: I cant run an external command

Exactly what is the error ? What OS are you running ? There is a difference between using the character ' and the character ", you know ? For instance, the script $filename="test.txt"; $f = shell_exec("notepad.exe $filename"); will open TEST.TXT, but is younger brother $filename="test.txt"; $f = shell_exec('notepad.exe $filename'); will open the file $FILENAME.TXT and that could be a problem.
