Hi all I’m brand new to PHP so go easy here. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
I am attempting to make a bare minimum webpage to run various things on my computer.
For example, I have a button and am attempting to run the following:
exec(“taskkill /IM iexplore.exe”);
?>However, nothing happens. I’ve read a bunch on Google and here, but I can’t find anything that explains this problem. I am on Win 7, UAC disabled, running the latest version of WAMP. (Everything I’ve found so far addresses IIS)
Could some one point me in the right direction?

I think what you are looking for is shell_exec
You can also use this built in function from the PHP Manual :
Hope this helps
function runAsynchronously($path,$arguments) {
$WshShell = new COM(“WScript.Shell”);
$oShellLink = $WshShell->CreateShortcut(“temp.lnk”);
$oShellLink->TargetPath = $path;
$oShellLink->Arguments = $arguments;
$oShellLink->WorkingDirectory = dirname($path);
$oShellLink->WindowStyle = 1;
$oShellLink->Save();
$oExec = $WshShell->Run(“temp.lnk”, 7, false);
unset($WshShell,$oShellLink,$oExec);
unlink(“temp.lnk”);
}

exec() is for CLI mode (locally). Play with your bash.
