I want to run command via php, what I've tried 

<?php
$out=exec("pwd")
echo $out
?>

Output: c//xampp/htdocscommands

Problem arised in this case

<?php
putenv('PATH=C:\xampp\htdocs\command\execute ');
$out=exec('pwd');
echo $out;
?>

Output: operable program or batch file.

Then I try to run even simple command exe("pwd"), I'm getting this error

operable program or batch file.

What I'm trying exactly is

  1. I need to run command via php exec or other syntex too
  2. I need to set the path right way

e.g.: exec("cd path some_command")
