Execute a jar file from a php script

Question

I am new to php and i have a question: Is it possible to start a jar file from php?

Have you ever heard of a way to accomplish?

Thy only way i know is the

exec()

or

shell_exec()

function.

Answer 1

shell_exec returns all of the output stream as a string.

shell_exec()

exec returns the last line of the output.

exec()

And duplicate of php shell_exec() vs exec()
