Running exe from another directory?

[Slythfox]

Okay, so I have this:

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "/bin/php/php.exe script.php")

It displays a window real quickly (not enough time to read it).

If I put php.exe, script.php, etc in the same directory as the autoit script, the script works (exact code above). I've tried creating a script in a bat to run the command which doesn't work in autoit. I've also tried _RunDos() and ShellExecute(), both of which have the same issue.

I don't want to have php.exe and everything in the main directory, as it is disorganized for the programmer, and confusing for the user. How is this fixable?

instead of "/" use "\"

Add your working dir parameter, per the help file on RunWait():

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "/bin/php/php.exe script.php", "/bin/php")

instead of "/" use "\"

Windows is actually pretty tolerant of forward slashes mixed in to paths. Try some CD commands from a DOS shell. It works.

Hi,

Maybe if php.exe and script.php are not in the same directory, you need to add the full path of both.

(eg if script.php is in a new created dir called "PHPScriptsDir")

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\bin\php\php.exe " & @ScriptDir & "\PHPScriptsDir\script.php")

Good luck,

Peter

I've done that too. Doesn't work.

I got this to work:

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "/bin/php/php.exe base64_encode.php", @ScriptDir & "/bin/php/")

Thanks a bunch! I was always confused what that second attribute did.

EDIT: Wait, How do I get the window to hide. It almost seems as if the php script doesn't run when I add " ,@SW_HIDE"

EDIT2: NVM, I think it's just GUI lag. (The PHP script outputs a lot!)
