Vs: [PHP-WIN] Problem with: exec(), system()

Try this: Needs the "K"-switch to work properly (on win2k anyway...) <?php print("Hello world!<BR>\n"); $cmd = "C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe /K \"dir C:\\\""; /* for test, want to use c:\\test\\test.exe, but gets the same errors */ $hmm = system( $cmd ); ?> T. SJM ps. I escaped the DIR C: => "DIR C:\" as well (\"DIR C:\\\"), even though it works without.
