excecute a java class file using php script

Question

I am using a java file to generate a report. It is located on my local hard disk. When I call it using cmd prompt it produces output. I want to run this java file using php file.

The lines in cmd are

D:\>cd class
D:\>class> java Reportgeneration username password id date

These lines are used to execute the java file, how can I execute this code in a php script

You can use the exec function in php to execute command line statements and get back results. You could also use system

exec() is for calling a system command, and perhaps dealing with the output yourself. system() is for executing a system command and immediately displaying the output.

PHP's exec does the trick. Read the manual!

Have a look at string shell_exec (string $cmd) It allowes you to execute a command in your shell and return the output as a string for furter processing in PHP.

<?php
  $output = shell_exec('ls -lart');
  echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>

If you have more than one shell command to execute, put them in a .bat file and call teh bat file instead.

Remember that PHP needs the privileges to access the directory and the right to execute.
