I want to run an exe file on my server and return the output to the browser screen. The exe file takes a input file and then returns data on the screen.
Why is this code not working?
$output = shell_exec('myprogram < INP.DAT');
echo "<pre>" . var_export($output, TRUE) ."</pre>\\n";
It displays "NULL" on the browser screen. I have also tried exec(). There it returns "Array()".
