[PHP] system() function
Hello, I'm running php on a Win2000 server. I also have an MS Access 97 database on the server. I want to tell the database to execute a macro on an as needed basis by running a php system() function, but I'm having difficulty making the action happen. I suspect it's my coding. I'm currently putting the following into my php: system(C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DATABASENAME.mdb /x MACRONAME) The server shows that MS Access is running a process, but it never finishes (seems to hang up). Does anyone have advice for me? Don Hicks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] system() function
I'm having an interesting problem. I'm running on an NT machine. I'm
using the function:
system("F:/full/path/program");
I've tried it using all kinds of forms of forward and back slashing,
doesn't seem to matter... oddly enough, if I copy the text out from
between the quote and paste it into a command window it runs fine. I
also tried using the exec command, but no luck. The intiger return
variable is -1, which I assume to mean it failed...
I'm completely lost now so if anyone has any ideas, input, or longshots,
I'd be happy to hear them. Thanks
-Daniel
