使用php中的webservice启动Windows服务

I was trying to start or stop a windows service from Android Device. For this i found using webservice would be more efficient way.

So i planned to create web service using php. From php5.3 this can be achieved by using win32_query_service_status.But my server is with php4. So is there any other way to start or stop windows services using PHP

As long as you can issue system commands to the command line, you can control the services using their command-line interface. Something like:

exec('NET START ServiceName');
