try
exec("c:/ProgZ/write.exe"); or at least
exec("c:\\ProgZ\\write.exe");. A single ''' escapes the special meaning of next the character but there is nothing special about 'P' and 'w'

hmm..

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.phpstring exec ( string command [, array output [, int return_var]])
maybe you should check the return value and/or pass the
output parameter to the function and check the value as well.
Code: Select all
is_file('c:/ProgZ/write.exe') or die('does not exist');
before the exec might be helpful, too
Huhu !

Try putting your command into a string.
$string="c:/ProgZ/write.exe";
exec($string);
I use it like that using system command.
