PHP in Visual Basic

[ShadowHunter]

try calling the PHP-CLI exe directly
I do believe for the new PHP5.0.0b1 you would find it to be something like this:

C:/path/to/php_folder/CLI/php.exe "C:/path/to/script.php"

Older versions of PHP would probably use this:

C:/path/to/php_folder/php-cli.exe "C:/path/to/script.php"


Then, from VB, you could just pull a shell call like so

Shell("C:/path/to/php_folder/php-cli.exe \"C:/path/to/script.php\"")


I think that would work

[phpman]

where are you getting this

php-cli.exe

no exe file called that.

Sorry about that, I was thinking back to an older version of PHP. both recent versions of PHP (4.3.2 and 5.0.0b1) have a seperate PHP.exe file in the /cli folder that is tuned for handling command line use (CLI = Command Line Interface)

Sorry about the confusion
