Hi,

I need to run an exe file from a PHP page.  How would I do this?  I have
tried passthru("C:\path\program.exe", $results); but results always
comes back as 1.  What I am I doing wrong?

The program.exe is a simple exe program that just puts "testprogram" to
the console. Shouldn't $results come back as "testprogram"??!  PHP is
not in safemode.

Thanks,
Josh
