execute pkzip.exe from a php script
 

Hi,
Earlier I've created a website under a windows machine.
Now I am running redhat8 and put the php files there.

Some files are archived using pkzip.

I was wondering if how I can execute pkzip.exe. ?

Help appreciated,

cheers
Patrick

Simply use the unzip command.

I am trying to zip something:

When I try in the command line 'pkzip.exe' , (in the directory where pkzip is located) I get the error message:

"bash: pkzip.exe: command not found"

Any idea?

a) it's not on your path. your current directory should never be on your path... run ./executable

b) this isn't windows... you can't run windows programs on linux like that. tried running your car on cough medicine?

Not pkzip unzip!!:pcheers

I was hopeing Wine, which is installed with redhat8, would recognize pkzip.
Also the zipfile I am trying to execute is in the same directory where I am currently located (When I type ls -al I see the files)

Is there another command in redhat8 whereby I can zip a file?

Sorry for these Newbie like questions :)

Kind regards
Patrick

Yeap, you use the zip command, just like you would use pkzip under dos.HTH

wine is a program, you have to run it directly, it can't just leap out of nowhere when you type the letters "exe"...
