remotely executing a dos batch file

[wagnj1]

I need to write a section of php that will execute a dos batch file thats located in my htdocs directory of my webserver...anyone know what the php command(s) are to do this? I am not having any luck finding out how to do this, maybe VBscript would be a better choice for doing this?

Have you looked at the "exec()" or "system()" functions?

if there is a time factor to this, consider using cron or scheduled tasks to automate the running of the batch file

I wish my computer would do what I want it to do,
instead of what I tell it to do...
