  Access cmd via PHP

  Dec 11, 2012 07:44 PM|LINK

  Hi there

  I try to access the command line via PHP (5.4.9) on my Server 2008 R2. When i run the following php code:

  <?php
  $result = 0;
  $resultstr = system('echo %PATH%', $result);
  echo $resultstr;
  ?>

  When i execute the code i got: PHP Warning: system(): Unable to fork [echo %PATH%]

  I already tried these things:

  • The Website and the assigned APP-Pool are running with an local administrator account
  • Give Everyone permissions to execute cmd.exe
  • Copying the cmd.exe to the same folder where the .php File is.

  Does anyone know a solution for my problem?

  Thanks very much :)

  Regards,

  Simon

  Hi,

  • Copying the cmd.exe to the same folder where the .php File is.

  I hope you rollbacked these "security hole award" settings already...

  All you need is to give read & execute permissions to the application pool identity (NTFS) and the execution permission to the handler mapping (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725855%28v=ws.10%29.aspx)

  Then, either you specify the full path to cmd.exe in your code, or you'll have to copy cmd.exe in you PHP directory.
