How to execute exe file using PHP

exec — Execute an external program

Description

exec (string $command, array & $output = null, int & $result_code = null) :string|false

exec() executes the given command.

Parameters

Command

The command that will be executed.

Output

If the output argument is present, then the specified array will be filled with every line of output from the command. Trailing whitespace, such as \n, is not included in this array. Note that if the array already contains some elements, exec() will append to the end of the array. If you do not want the function to append elements, call unset() on the array before passing it to exec().

result_code

If the result_code argument is present along with the output argument, then the return status of the executed command will be written to this variable.
