Hi, i cant seem to figure out how to run e.g. the lame mp3 encoder through a php script.. the exe file is in the same dir as the script..

i'm trying to develop a script for encoding user uploaded mp3's to a lesser quality, but i don't know how to run an external .exe file with command line parameters..

is this possible on windows? do i need some .ini modifications?
or how do i do it on a linux server?

thank you for your answers..

on linux, use exec - for windows check the workaround in the user-notes.
