Launching & controlling application using PHP

Question

I'm trying to launch & control UI automation tool through PHP. I'm able to launch the tool using proc-open but it launches the process in background hence the application doesn't appear on the screen. I'm using proc-open so that I could capture exit status of the application. Please let me know if there is a way to launch and control application in foreground using PHP & also capture exit status.

Answer 1

mmhh,

interesting one. It could work through COM, but to be perfectly honest I'd not recommend you to do anything like this until you desperatly need to.

1.: COM ist slow

and more relvantly

2.: A PersonalHomepageProcessor is not intended to remote controll apps...

EDIT: Of course one could argue that HTTP is'nt / was'nt intended to 'run' ARIS and similar tools... ^^
