Which function do you use to try to run cmd ? Did you try `exec()` ? – zronn Jan 29 '17 at 22:36

1Take a look at [PHP - exec() vs system() vs passthru()](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/732832/php-exec-vs-system-vs-passthru) – infinigrove Jan 29 '17 at 22:39

1 - it depend on what you write inside exec()
and This command only executed on the server side ,
and cannot be executed on the client side
to use this command :
- for example u can write : <?php echo exec("ping google.com"); ?> to know the ping of google and the result will appear in your browser page
- use shell_exec("ping google.com"); to show more detail
- Another Example to use that command : shell_exec('systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name"');
to show what operation system u use.
Another solution is to create a bat file , name it : "Simple.bat" and save it on the root of your website
then simply use this command to call it : <?php echo exec("Simple.bat"); ?>
2 - if you ruining IIS the issues could be something inside your settings and the causes are many when u come to this part , and i dont have Experience at IIS , * only Apache
but one of the solutions suggest about IIS can be founded here in first reply :

Actually I need to access a shared folder which has username and pwd. for that I need to use system("net use ", ....); command. But it is just not running :( – User27 Jan 30 '17 at 01:06

@pk27 look for this file on your system : " **php.ini** " open it and press Ctrl + F , then search for " **memory_limit** " and increase the size of that option make it 100m or more , depend on what u need // for me 200m is enough ; – The Doctor Jan 30 '17 at 01:18

It was 128M, I changed to 200M, but still showing the same warnings, can't run exec/system, net use etc – User27 Jan 30 '17 at 02:07

@pk27 it could be from your local server IIS software . uninstall it and change it with apache :: **Download and install Apache 2.2 or higher** , then put your code page in `www` directory inside apache folder and run your page `localhost/yourpage.php` from any Browser and it should run fine .
