Question

I’m trying to run this command from a windows computer, but I can’t get it to work. The command works perfectly when I enter it into command prompt, but not when I execute the PHP script.

$command = '"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.exe" /console /command "open client" "cd /var/www/html/reports" "put C:\wamp\www\client\test.php" "exit"';
shell_exec($command);

Answer 1

Try using exec() it can help you do debugging.

<?php
$command = '"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.exe" /console /command "open client" "cd /var/www/html/reports" "put C:\wamp\www\client\test.php" "exit"';
$cmd = exec($command, $arr, $opt);

// Output info run from the command:
var_dump($cmd, $arr, $opt);
