Execute AND terminate background processes in Windows whilst your PHP-Script continues to execute. This code fragment is useful if you want to execute AND terminate a background
process (that can be invoked via commandline) in Windows OS using PHP, without having your script hanging. The problem with the given functions of PHP for this purpose (exec(),
passthru(), backtick-operators etc.) is, your script will hang if you launch a process that should run whilst your script is continuing to execute (e.g. services). To terminate
the process you'll need the utility "pskill". Not a big thing, but I hope it helps you, as I wasted a lot of time on this theme until i got a working solution. It was tested
only "local" on Windows 2000, Apache 1.3 and PHP 5.0. Read the original contribution at: http://php3.de/manual/de/function.exec.php download pskill at:

Hi. I wrote this one for "local" purposes. It allows to navigate and pick up an unlimited amount of files and folders. It returns a 2-dim-array with the file/folderpath and an
index: 1=folder, 2=file. It requires javascript. It was tested "local" on Windows2000 and IE6, but not on an "external" server nore with other browsers. You'll have to adapt the
list of the drives manually.
The code fragment (function) allows to find the scheme of all possible combinations of a given number of elements and will return the array with all combinations. Optionally it
allows to find also the combinations that dont include all elements. The examples show how to apply the code. Idea/basics of the code were taken from a nice contribution here:

I wasted a lot of time trying to get FTP over SSL/TLS working in PHP on WINDOWS OS (with precompiled SSL PHP-packages etc.). However, it never worked for me. While SSL/TLS may
not be a complicate issue on Linux OS and others, on Windows OS it definitely is. I'm happy I found a nice solution now: using "MoveIt Freely", a commandline FTP-Client,
freeware at http://www.standardnetworks.com. A nice tool that worked on all SSL/TLS-enabled FTP-servers for me. I know the issue is not related to PHP directly, anyway, I
include an example that shows how to use it Hope it helps.
