Hello,

I have apache 2 , php5 on windows 2003 server. I want to execute the external command like,

system( 'c:/PHP/safedir/pdftk.exe C:/AppServ/www/mylegalwork/images/pdf_files/PROD-5298b6/MLW_Demo_Form_1.pdf  dump_data_fields > C:/AppServ/www/mylegalwork/images/pdf_files/PROD-5298b6/rizwan')

basicaly pdftk.exe is pdf utility. I have put it in safe directory. The problem is when i try to access the page its not execute the command. I have try it with passthru, exec and with shell_command but all do nothing. Its working fine on my local machine and on linux server where i install pdftk but on windows 2003 server its not working. I have found an article at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20951 which says there is security issue thats why its not allow php to execute the command. If anyone of you know anything about it than do let me know. I really want to run the command.



Thanks
