Question

so I have the following script

$execStr = 'cd /D Z:\\folder'
exec($execStr);
$execStr = 'java -jar somejar.jar';
exec($execStr);

the jar does some operations on a mysql database…

but when I run it, it appears that the jar did not run properly because the database was unchanged

but then when I run the exact same strings from the command line it would work properly

what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

shell_exec('/path/to/java -jar Z:\folder\somejar.jar');
where you sub /path/to to the real place your java is run from.
