Cmd in PHP?

[mirainc]

Was wondering if i could run a cmd command in php. I want to display the PC's system information. i know that in cmd it is C:\>systeminfo. So how can i get that in PHP. Must use shell_exec()? really lost on how to do this. this is wad i have been trying but no success.

[PHP]<?php
$cmd = 'C:\>systeminfo ';
$display = .shell_exec($cm d);
echo "$display";
?>[/PHP]

[PHP]<?php
$output = shell_exec('sys teminfo');
echo "<pre>$outp ut</pre>";
?>[/PHP]

Any help is greatly appreciated!! (:

Heya, Mirainc.

If you're getting no output, the command is probably generating an error (perhaps a permission denied error?).

If you run that command in a DOS prompt, do you get the proper output?

[PHP]
<?php
$output = shell_exec('sys teminfo');
echo "<pre>$outp ut</pre>";
?>
[/PHP]

I tried in my Windows XP system and was able to generate the output.
I am using XAMP to run php.

But not sure what is the case with you. I wish your problem be solved.
