execute .bat file using php on web
sorry for not writing in dutch. the reason I am in this forum is purely that I live in holland :-)
expecting some help from PHP experts.
started my first task in php.
1. i have a simple web application which must execute a .bat file.
2. when execution finished it shall display the results to users
i am using
xampp on windows 10.
the main issue is, due to system policy, i can only execute a .bat file in administrator mode.
Below code works:

I understand that 'web user' should be run in Administrator mode. But i dont get which files has to be modified..
anyhelp is appreiciated. Thanks.
And on that note, what are you trying to achieve through this .bat file. Perhaps there is another / better way to achieve whatever it is you are trying to do with said file.
Also (first Google result) have you tried to run a .bat file like this?

Thanks for your tips.
the link has helped a little but I landed again at same situation as where I started. It executed the .bat file but i have issue with my system policy. I must run the bat file in 'admin' mode otherwise I am seeing following message.
"This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator."
>what is the necessity to use a .bat file specifically?
mainly because It is a application from oracle and I am used to running it always on commandLine.
Now I want to let other users run the .bat and execute it too remotely. thus web application.
>Perhaps there is another / better way to achieve whatever
This may be a good idea but it shall test my newbie php skills :-)
by the way, >Also, paths need to have \\ instead of \, otherwise the \ won't even show up.
the double or single did not made difference in my tests.

This is due to the (interactive use) architecture of windows. Run this on a unix or Linux system and you can control the proper rights for execution. You where saying: It is an application from oracle or something like that but Oracle has left windows many years ago so are you still running Oracle on windows??the link has helped a little but I landed again at same situation as where I started.
