Hi,

I have been looking around for documents on http://www.microsoft.com on t=
he generation of win32 exception errors=2C but I am not exactly sure what=20
steps I should take when the debugger is triggered by either a Shockwave fi=
le application=2C or from an HTTP Request.=20

Here is the code snippet:

//execute program
shell_exec("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\incidence\my-manager.exe -d$date -p$event"=
)=3B
=20
=20
When I run the code as embedded in PHP=2C I see a pop up window with the fo=
llowing words: An unhandled win32 exception occurred in my-manager.exe [237=
2].
However=2C when I only run the application using cmd=2C it does not give me=
any errors.=20

Is there something I should try that I have not?

Thanks in advance.

This is almost certainly due to something that exe file is trying to
use and nothing at all to do with PHP. What does my-manager.exe do?

Hi,
To answer your question=2C the exe file is written in C and creates seve=
ral output files that calculates various variables based on the user input =
(which the PHP handles).=20
What I am surprised about is that when I run the exe file by itself=2C =
there is no error at all. However=2C once I use PHP to "call" the file=2C i=
t does not crash=2C but I have to click No when it executes to allow the pr=
ogram to proceed. I tried to follow the instructions from the document in t=
he url below=2C but I could not find the files=2C and I was not sure if tha=
t really is the cause of the interruptions of my program.=20
Does this give you more information in helping me solve my problem?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the source of the exe? Is it C or C++ or C#?

The=0A=

my client wanted me to execute it using that to prevent my having to=0A=

Do I have to install Visual Studio on the machine of where my PHP is execut=

I do not believe that that would make much difference.

When I only have the PHP with the shell_exec command=2C it is not giving =
me any errors.=20

You are right=2C my errors do not come from PHP this time.=20

Is the PATH environment variable the same in all cases? I am not really a
Windows expert but I do know that the PATH can vary between Windows itself and
a DOS box. It may be worth checking.

That debugging window is appearing therefore you must have VS
installed on the machine you're running it on.

There are many things you need to be careful of when executing a shell
from PHP, primarily these are ensuring that permissions are correct
and that the thing you're executing does not attempt to use anything
other than stdin/out/err (i.e. nothing outside the standard C library,
so no windows etc).

The window usually indicates an unhandled exception or other
catastrophic event, in which case you need to be taking it back to
where you got it from and telling them about it. Unless the debugging
window indicates that it's PHP that's crashing not your exe. I'd
double check that first if I were you.

As you appear to know what the .exe does why not rewrite it in PHP.
