Issuing commands (stdin) to an already running process using PHP

Question

I got this process running doing some server-related tasks. I'd like to have PHP issue a command to it.

The software I'm using is Craftbukkit which is a custom server tool for Minecraft. I'd like to be able to execute various commands to it using PHP. I'm using psexec to open it.

EDIT: I just figured by doing some more googling, that this is called "sending stdin to a process". So yeah, though you'd like to know.

Answer 1

I ended up using WebSend which allows me todo just about this. I also think this solution seems a bit more safe.
