PHP on linux to run a window program

[datactrl]

Hi, all
I have an application with PHP on windows and which will execute a Windows program in cmd mode. For some reason, have to move it to hosting website, most of hosting company using Linux server and some Windows servers they don't have PHP or just using .NET. Is there any way to run my application on Linux(for PHP has no problem, I think) and run a simple Windows simulation to run my cmd windows program. Because it's in CMD mod, so I don't need GUI at all. If therei s someone has this experience, please advise. Thank you very much!

… run a simple Windows simulation to run my cmd windows program.

I guess you have o ask your ISP of choice if they offer something like that (Virtual Machines), but it's rather uncommon (well, I've not yet heard of something like that). you probably need some provider hosting on windows for that.

Yes, it's a bit uncommon. Because I have a report system running on Windows and don't want to change it. It's working on a intranet so I installed VM and runing Linux and Win200. It works fine. Now my customer opened a sub office in anthor city and access the in-house VM server(adsl-2 linked) from outside is slow. Installing a dedicate high speed link will cost too much. I ask ISP's about VM, most of them won't do that. Don't know how to do!
