Hi there,
my question is not primariyl related to FreeBSD but more to FreeBSD and =
PHP 4.
I'm writing the 2nd version of a larger project in PHP and want to use a =
php command which launches (if the server is a Windows machine) a simple =
text editor; here's what I do if the php script is run on a Windows =
Server:
[code]
//start Notepad.exe minimized in the background:
$WshShell =3D new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec =3D $WshShell->Run("notepad.exe ,1, false);
[/code]
I know that the COM command is not supported on FreeBSD according to the =
php manual but I'm searching the web now for hours and hours looking for =
a way to port this piece of code to something working when the script is =
run on a FreeBSD server.
What is important is that the started text editor (here on Windows: =
notepad.exe) should be visible to the user.
Can anybody give me please some clues for this problem?!
Thanks, anyway.
Cheers,
Michael
