I can't use the $com = new Com('WScript.shell');
way, it's causing problems on my system. Probably I need to upgrade my PHP because it's very old (5.2), but I suppose what I'm trying to do is not version dependent.
I'm running PHP on Windows 2008 64-bit. Where I can run a command prefixed with start
to run the command on a separate console.
start php myscript.php
If this is executed from the command line, it starts a new console for the script.
I need to do the same from PHP using exec only.
exec("CMD /C start php myscript.php");
/C
is to terminate the CMD session when the script finishes.
But it's not giving the same results, it still waits for the script to terminate !
