Is shell() and exec() active in php.ini?
I believe XAMPP/WAMP disables some features (security)

Because when you cd, it only changes directory for that call. Your second call for exec() doesn't recognize your use of 'cd' because it goes back to default.

Basically:

PHP код:

exec("cd /directory"); 
// cd is only remembered for the command above. It's forgotten the next time you call exec()
exec("start samp-server.exe"); // It can't find it because it doesn't remember the cd command used 


Try merging the two commands in to one call for exec().

You should take a look into antctrl by Westie.

First of all, you have to start the server relative to the directory. Thus, an approach similar to IronBoy is the only way:

Код:

cmd /C start /D "\server\dir\here" /B "samp-server.exe"

Also, you'll have to start the server with a COM object.

Why, you're asking me. Well, the SA-MP process doesn't daemonise - it freezes the webpage by in effect blocking the socket, so you'll have to trick it into doing so manually. I'll give you an example from my code - well, a simplified version of it:

PHP код:

$pCOM = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$pCOM->Run('cmd /C start /D "'.addslashes(COM_RELDIR).'" /B '.COM_EXEC, 0, false); 


Pretty much the only reliable way to do things.
