Execute .jar file from PHP through command prompt

[rajkskumar]

Hi, I have a .jar file which has a command line interface. I want to call the jar file through command prompt and capture the output of the Jar file.

I have tried with the exec() command.

The command I have used is:

exec('java -jar D:\Development\Filehandler\dist\Filehandler.jar getConfigLang', $result);

Should something else be done before executing this command? like adding path etc???

Please help me...

It doesn't work?

You shouldn't need anything else unless your jar program needs something.

What do you get when you run that command manually?
