How to call .exe file from Php

[dcrera]

Hi

I need to call an .exe file from PHP in windows.

The file is resident on all machines that can run the form.

Tried

exec('C:\Progra m Files\Mincom\Au toIt\secureweb. exe');
and passthru, system

and the program does not launch.

Tried
exec('C:\Progra m Files\Mincom\Au toIt\secureweb. exe');
and passthru, system

I think the space in Program Files causes the problem.
It needs to be written Pro~1 or something like that.

Please research this, because although I have experienced the problem I can only vaguely remember the details
