Hi 
 
Haven't tried this, nor heard of anyone who has, but the shell_exec() 
function in PHP allows you to execute shellcommands on a *nix server. 
 
You may do similar things running on a win-server, however, it has to 
go through the cmd.exe-file. e.g. <? 
shell_exec("C:\\path\\to\\cmd.exe /c C:\\batchfile.cmd"); 
?> 
 
I'm really not sure about this, but I remembered reading about this, 
and seeing that you didn't get a positive answer. 
Please correct me if I'm wrong 
 
Morten
