PHP to execute external programs?

Post by panos_sniper »

Hi, I have a question

Is it possible to execute a program from "c:\program files\..." from within a php script?
My php.exe is in c:\php and my webroot in c:\program files\apache ... \htdocs

What I want to do is to type a url like test.php?link=[some link]
and my computer to automatically launch flashget from command line and add the url to the downloads

Thx in advance
