$descriptorspec = array(
     0 => array("pipe", "r"),  // stdin is a pipe that the child will read from
     1 => array("pipe", "w"),  // stdout is a pipe that the child will write to
     2 => array("file", "filename.txt", "w") // stderr is a file to write to
  );
$command = "g++ cplusplusfile.cpp";
proc_open($command,$descriptospec,$output);

PHP:

Set $command to whatever command you want to execute to compile the C++ program.

 

Thanx Shoro

it works and the output file created but the file contain

"'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."

instead of the output ?

 

I think its gc++ and not g++

 

I think you're wrong, at least if you're talking about the GNU compiler commonly found on Linux.

 

I wouldn't expect this to work if you're on any kind of shared hosting. Access to compilers is almost always restricted due to security problems. There are a few hosts that allow them (nearlyfreespeech being one of them).

Why are you trying to do this exactly?

 

It will work in our localhost machines, but not sure with site hosting servers.

 

Your web host will never allow you to compile arbitary c++ program and run it on there server.

Code (markup):

 

Obviously either g++ isn't installed on the server, or you aren't allowed to use it.

 

g++ installed , and I'm on the localhost on my PC ?

 

didnt know that this is possible

 

look in your bin folder to get the correct name that its under
