use exec() to run system command

Thanx for the tip
where can I find a list of exec() command parameters?

exec("C:\Windows\iexplore.exe") will run ie..
exec("batfile.bat") will run a batfile.bat that is placed in the same dir as a script...
exec is the same thing as a command prompt..

in that case I have to run Linux commands to get TIME from my server
as its based in Linux!

so can you give me a PHP example how can I get server time using that command?

I'm not sure why ruturajv is telling you to use exec(). If you use the PHP function time() it will always tell you the time on the server. PHP has no way to know what the time on the client is, so it will never return the time on the client, unless, of course, the client is running on the same machine as the server. Don't use system calls as ruturajv describes unless you absolutely have to, and in this case you definitely don't have to.

it was just an option to find time in an other way than php, yes obviously php picks up the same time :-D
