Hi
I am trying to run an .exe file on my server, at user's request.
My page is in ActionScript 3.
To do so, the user's click opens a new window which loads a PHP file that runs my .exe.
Once the .exe is done with it's job, I wish to close that window automatically.
A better thing would be not to open the window in the first place, just run the php script.
Is there a way to do any of these?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe
I am having a similar problem. I used the following code on my test server:
<?php
$cmd = '"c:\\Program Files\\Messenger\\msmsgs.exe"';
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run($cmd, 7, false);
?>
this will launch MSN messenger or any application you choose, minimised without showing the cmd window. This wont solve all your problems but I hope it helps, there is a little more info on my post: Post subject: Local test Server Configuration
