Do you mean non-compiled code?

Gbenbam 13-Nov-14 10:42am

i mean compiled code.

PIEBALDconsult 13-Nov-14 10:48am

Then what language it was written in doesn't matter.

Gbenbam 13-Nov-14 10:52am

so how can one go about executing a compiled code from within a php script?

Richard MacCutchan 13-Nov-14 11:02am

Your question said from within C++ code. Where does PHP come into it?

Gbenbam 13-Nov-14 11:10am

I apologise for the inconvenience. i have corrected the title.

Richard MacCutchan 13-Nov-14 11:27am

Well that's a totally different question. I don't know of any way to run C++ (or any other language) compiled code from PHP.

Gbenbam 13-Nov-14 11:39am

I actually mean compiled c++ program.

Richard MacCutchan 13-Nov-14 11:47am

That's what I said. The issue is really "what PHP commands or functions can you use to run an executable program". As I know almost nothing about PHP I don't have the answer. Have you checked the documentation, searched with Google?

You could use one of the "Program execution Functions"[^].

Solution 1

Yes, but exactly how depends on your OS and framework.
If you are using the .NET framework, then the Process class will do it nicely: MSDN[^]

I am not using dot net.I am using win32 API.( I might wish to use mfc too)

OriginalGriff 13-Nov-14 10:57am

It helps if you tell us these things! :laugh:
Try System:

Or better ShellExecuteEx:

OriginalGriff 13-Nov-14 11:19am

Not a problem!
But try to remember in future: the more (and more accurate) the information you give us, the more accurately we can answer, and the faster you get a response you can use :laugh:

Gbenbam 13-Nov-14 11:32am

so is this your last solution still valid considering the change in title?

OriginalGriff 13-Nov-14 11:47am

From PHP? No. But this might do it:
