    PHP system commands

    Hi all!

    I want to execute system commands through the functions provided by PHP (like exec, system etc)

    In the LINUX machine in my work, everything seems to be OK, when, for example, I write system `ls`; and I print it on the screen.
    In my home PC on the other hand, where I have winXP and the Cygwin platform installed, none of these works.

    1) Is the Cygwin platform sufficient to run system commands or must I have LINUX machine?

    2) Do I need to change anything in my php.ini file in order to 'activate' the system commands?

    Thanx!

    Never mind, a fellow from another forum answered my question.
    In windows, 'system' calls cmd, so it does not communicate directly with Cygwin.
