WampServer

hi all,
i've a PHP permissions issue, running WampServer64 v2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2
i need to run from PHP a windows batch file which in turn runs WinSCP to upload a file

if i try c:\test03.bat on command line, it ran ok
if i try c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php c:\www\test03.php in command line, it ran ok
but if try http:\\localserver\test03.php, php WinSCP ran but file is not uploaded

we suspect, problem is related to apache or php or wamp permissions to interact with windows folders.

can you advice us?


br,
cesar.

hi again,

I already tried this ones, but no luck:
1) services.msc | wampapache | log on | check on "Allow this service to interact with desktop"
2) found a post here about manually starting apache as administrator, but can't manage to do it
3) adding read permissions to "everyone" in windows to my folders


br,
cesar.

Hi,

What you want to do is impossible.
From PHP, you can run some Windows commands, even some executable in the background with its outputs redirected to a file, but you cannot run a GUI program.
See PHP documentation about commands:
- exec
- passthru
- system
- backticks (``) operator
and you will see that what you want to do is impossible with PHP.

hi Otomatic,

actually, i'm trying to do exactly the opposite.
i don't wanna run any guy but publish a pdf file in a server using a php file to run winscp in batch mode.

if i open a cmd window and type "php myscript.php", everything runs as it should be, without any other output but the one in the php file, so i think i'm not asking for some kind of technical imposibility but a sort of permissions translated from windows to apache in order to run my batch.

because when i ran it from cmd, permissions came from my windows user, allowing full php "execution" of the php script

maybe i'm not explaining myself clear, but i need to do the same in a browser executed php script.

anyway, i'll take a look on the commands you mentioned.

Hi,

>... using a php file to run winscp in batch mode.
Does "winscp" able to run on command line with parameters?
If yes, you can use passthru, like this:

$command = 'start /b /wait c:/prog/winscp/winscp.exe parameter1 parameter2 parameter3';
ob_start();
passthru($command);
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

And then you treat the contents of the variable $output.

hi again Otomatic,

yeap, winscp has a strong batch mode, i recomend it.
i tested your code and result is the same.
i strongly suspect problem has to be with apache permissions... but i'm a win man, sorry but a complete rookie regarding apache and wampserver, that's why i need help.

this is the previous php's exec():

exec( 'c:\www\pdt\bat\publicar_WebVmg.bat c:\www\pdt\bat\pdf\__GFs_SYS_GFP_Prueba_VMG.pdf' );

this is the tested $command:

$command = 'start /b /wait c:\www\pdt\bat\publicar_WebVmg.bat c:\www\pdt\bat\pdf\__GFs_SYS_GFP_Prueba_VMG.pdf';

this is my winscp log file when ran with passthru() the same as exec():

. 2015-05-26 21:26:08.244 Looking up host "publicar_WebVmg"

this is what i run from windows:

c:
cd \wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3
php.exe C:\www\test03.php

this is my batch file, i didn't comented before because it ran at least from win as expected:

echo %time% > C:\www\pdt\bat\publicar_WebVmg_script.log
c:\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe /script=C:\www\pdt\bat\publicar_WebVmg.wscp /log=C:\www\pdt\bat\publicar_WebVmg_script.log /parameter // %1

and this is my winscp command file (also hadn't included because it ran from win, and stored login sesion worked both from gui & php called from win as expected):

option batch abort
option echo on
option confirm off
open publicar_WebVmg
put -preservetime %1%
close
exit

i noticed my www folder isn't under wamp as is mentioned in several examples.
maybe we did something wrong when installed, i don't know.
do you think something like "virtual hosts" could do the job, regarding permissions?




and this is the log i got then, when file is uploaded as expected:
