Hi! right firstly I'm very new to PHP-GTK2, though I have done a small amount of php programming many years ago.

Gone through the manual, and followed some of the few tutorials available, and so far found it very easy to use! at least to make a window appear :)

What im trying to do is to make a crossplatform 'Site Shop' application, now this is a far too big off project to undertake on its own, so Ive subdivided into small areas to work on and hopefully learn PHP-GTK2.

Hello, I want to create a PHP-GTK application, which should be a frontend for some command-line utilities. Now my question is: How do I run an external (*.exe) application from my PHP-GTK program? And how do I know the application has finished? I've been searching for this in the documentation, but I couldn't find an answer. Thank you.
