I'm trying to run an exe file with PHP's popen() function in Windows. Everything is perfect except if my .exe file has spaces in it's path. So this works:
popen("start /b D:\\test.exe", r);
this doesn't:
popen("start /b D:\\path with space\\test.exe", r);
Normally in CMD when you want to do that you just put the path in quotes like: "D:\path with space\test.exe" and this works ok with exec() function but not with popen().
I've tried:
popen('start /b "D:\\path with space\\test.exe"', r);
but it doesn't work.
Anyone has any idea how to do this ?
Use the escapeshellarg() function to add the spaces.
