How to call exe using PHP

[ginugopinath]

Im using the xampp package.
now from my created webpage,say a button called broadcast exist,then if a user clicks it,then I need to provide him with the "real producer basic 11" interface which is an exe thats currently installed on localhost.

The basic Q is I dont want to give the users an option to download this exe rather I want to use some fuctions which would call this exe for me
