Question

I am able to call the following exe using windows command line, but using the exec() function, it doesn’t work.

I have to pass a directory as an argument to that exe file.

UPDATE:

$command = '""C:\\Users\\cArn\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\Projects\\word_to_pdf\\word_to_pdf\\bin\\Debug\\word_to_pdf.exe" "C:\\wamp\\www\\zabjournal\\files\\journals\\1\\articles""';
exec($command);

Still doesn’t seem to work.

Answer 1

Use single quote ' instead

$command = 'C:\Users\cArn\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\word_to_pdf\word_to_pdf\bin\Debug\word_to_pdf.exe C:\wamp\www\zabjournal\files\journals\1\articles';
exec($command);

Thanks

🙂
