Executing multiple .bat or .exe files

Question

I am using PHP Desktop to turn my web app into "desktop app". Is it possible and if it is how can I execute multiple .bat or .exe files after executing the main .exe file? Also is it possible to execute .bat or .exe file with button using JavaScript?

Answer 1

You can use PHP functions like system() to execute any command.

There is also a "nircmd" tool that has many options including options to execute programs asynchronously. See:

If you want to execute program with js then just make an AJAX call to a PHP script.
