Re: trying to use EXEC with Zend

Yep, that is exactly what is happening. But it's not what I want. I
want to run the command on the PC. (I'm trying to open MS Paint). Am I
mistaken in thinking that this is possible?

what you are seeing appears to be running on the host the web server is
on.
Assuming the host is IBM i, try using "ls -la" or "pwd" as the EXEC
command.

I want my PHP script to run a DOS command on the PC whose browser opened
the script, It looks like EXEC should do this, but no matter what
command I use - including easy stuff like DIR or IPCONFIG - I get a

"file

not found" message. For example, if the script contains

$test= exec('dir 2>&1', $output);
echo $test;
echo '<BR>';
var_dump($output);

I get

sh: dir: not found.
array(1) { [0]=> string(20) "sh: dir: not found." }


Any ideas?
