So you are implying that the code I linked to is wrong in some way? How exa=
ctly? If it were impossible, nothing would work on Windows, but that's not =
the case.

And you entirely ignored my question about how file_exists=C2=A0 is able to=
 see any file...

I don't know what you mean by "having cmd.exe involved". I'm talking about =
PHP -- not cmd.exe.

proc_open() is just one of many different functions, and it's significantly=
 more complex and difficult to use than the others. I'm aware of its existe=
nce and its new way of sending an array. Why haven't the other functions al=
so been upgraded like that? Do you not realize what a massive undertaking i=
t would be to completely re-learn a different function and change all of my=
 existing code to instead start using proc_open()?
