I have been wracking my brain and my pc on this one, hoping someone can help me out here.
I have a PHP site that needs to execute a powershell script which in turn executes and executable.
the PHP that calls the .ps1 is
define('updaterPath','C:\\artemis\\DbUpdateUtility1.0.12.2');
define('outputLocation',updaterPath.'\\Output');
$CMD = updaterPath . '\\ArtemisXmlUtil.exe';
$action = 'import';
$args= ' -f' . outputLocation;
$psScriptPath = '.\\get-process.ps1';
$query = shell_exec("powershell -command $psScriptPath -cmd '$CMD' -action '$action' -paras '$args' < NUL");
my .ps1 script is:
param(
[string]$CMD,
[string]$action,
[string]$paras
)
& $CMD $action $paras
Right now, when I echo the full command, it looks perfect and can be copied and pasted into powershell and runs successfully, but when I try to actually execute it from php, it runs with only the $CMD variable and ignores the $action and $paras.
I tried concactenating the variables all into 1 string, but that fails as not even being able to see the executable.
the full command shouls look like:
C:\artemis\DbUpdateUtility1.0.12.2\ArtemisXmlUtil.exe import -fC:\artemis\DbUpdateUtility1.0.12.2\Output
