Execute a Network command

[Miguel]

Hello,

I'm trying to execute an Network command with PHP exec() function but
i can't.
The PHP script looks like the following:

<?php
...
exec('\\PTtype\ Myapp');
...
?>

When i execute this command in the windows shell i've no problem, but
when i use PHP exec() function it simply don't run. It seems that the
instruction is jumped.
I guess it isn't a PHP problem because when i make:

<?php
...
exec('C:\\WINDO WS\\NOTEPAD:EXE ');
...
?>

NOTEPAD is correctly opened.

Probably the problem has to do with the way the 'Path' is typed.

Any HELP please?

Thanks.
Regards,
Miguel

Maybe you have to start a command interpreter ???

exec('cmd /c \\PTtype\Myapp' );


Also try a

exec('cmd /c "set > c:\\setdata.txt "');

and check the contents of the new file to verify what user php runs
under and if it has access to the network directory.
