[php query]

Thanks Sparda that has worked a treat!!!

[php query]

I have just installed Apache 2. 0. x. x (standard default installation) and php5 on my windows XP machine.  If i create a php file like

<?php echo("hello there") ?>

and view this in my web browser on 127. 0. 0. 1/test. php the script works, however if I try the more complicated php below this does not work.

<?php system("(start C:Progra~1VideoLANVLCvlc. exe C:media --intf=http --fullscreen) >nul"); ?>

I am very much a "newby" to all this and would appreciate any help you can offer. . . thanks
