I want to send a message to another PC in my workgroup.
I use Windows 7 Professional and Xampp server.
I use this code:
<?php
echo exec('C:\windows\system32\msg PCuser massage');
?>
But this is not working. So I tried another method like this:
<?php
echo exec('d:\test.bat');
?>
test.bat contains:
msg user 1
I open test.bat file and set it to run as admin so it will go straight to C:\windows\system32, and excecute the command.
But I get error message:
"C:\Windows\msg.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
But when I try to double click the .bat file, the pop up shows normally.
I want make a PHP form that can send a message to another computer like this:
PC name: ____
Massage: ____
<?php
$PCname=Input Post PC name;
$message=Input Post message;
echo exec('C:\windows\system32\msg'.$PCname.$message);
?>
So I can input the message and send then to specified PC.
UPDATE
I know I can run msg command without C:\windows\system32, but I still have the error message when I do this:
<?php
exec('msg user 1');
?>
I get again this error:
"C:\Windows\msg.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
I use href in my html to link to test.bat file and when I click on this hyperlink, I can download my test.bat file. When I click next to run it, then I get same error. I close my browser open my download folder and open test.bat file by double click and it runs normally.
So here are the questions:
Can I run msg command in PHP or in browser?
What is an alternate to do that? Which program can I use to run msg command?
