    made a php program in windows server and here is my code:

    $cmdline = "filename"
    $result = shell_exec($cmdline);

    /directory
    -index.php
    -folder_containing_resource
    -filename

    the file uses a resource that is in the folder residing in the current directory( directory where php page is)


    now i need to upload my work in a linux server. what will be the right command in using shell_exec()?
    i know that what i used in my program is a windows executable file so i will provide a linux executable file for this.

    i just need to know the command in linux in order for my project to work. thanks in advance.

    What you state above should work fine ; you can just run;

    $result = `./filename`;

    make sure the filename has perms 555 (or something like that)

    You can use this too:

    
$filename='/home/username/file_name_here'; // this is just an example of the file path;
system($filename);
