I've been working on a way to add a whole bunch of users to windows server 03. I've made one PHP file that will create me a batch file to add the users but that requires me to also run the batch file. I remembered seeing something on php.net about executing commands. I've tried system() and exec() and I've been getting these errors: "Warning: system() [function.system]: unable to fork [echo hello] in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 7" and "Warning: exec() [function.exec]: Unable to fork [dir] in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 4". I was wondering if anyone had any info on this.

Check those links at search google if you haven't already found a source or tutorial, or something you can refer to. If you have found something that you are following, post the link, and post some of your code. I've never done what you are trying to do here, but I figure you will probably geta response, or responses faster(and a solution) if you post some code.

I haven't tried it too, but I would think you could use the system. But you say it doesn't work, so I don't know?

Hence why I said maybe he should post the code? It's hard to diagnose a problem without it. Because it could be a error on his side.

Of course, I just gave it a try, maybe he didn't do it in that way.

How would we know if he hasn't posted any code? It has something to do with exec, shell, or shell exec. He says hes tried shell and exec and it doesn't work. What I'm saying is that if you google the question, there are lots of results. If he is still having trouble, there may very well be something wrong with the code. Anyways, he ain't getting any anwsers unless he posts back That is, unless he already figured it out.:p

I know, as i said I just gave it a try, maybe it was it.
He tried system(), so I thinked it was maybe that.
