Executing a user interactive application on serverside

Post by rathnaNrao »

Hello!

I face a problem when I try to open a user interactive application on serverside using php file.

The scenario is:
When a client clicks a button, that should invoke notepad which should be user interactive on serverside.
But I can execute this notepad only at background process i.e., seen in the Task Manager ->Processes.

Please someone help me to figure out this....

Thank you

Regards,

Not a PHP question: it has to do with how your web server is set up to run on the machine.

If it's as a service - likely - then it needs to run in interactive mode. I don't know of any easy way to change that but there's probably something you can set in the registry.
