This might work for you. At least I think it should. I have not tested
this personally. In kernel32 dll is an API named SetCurrentDirectory.
It takes a pointer to a path and changes the current directory for the
current process.
Declaration:
BOOL SetCurrentDirectory(
LPCTSTR lpPathName // address of name of new current directory
);
include Win32Lib.ew
==========
constant
SetCurrentDirectory = registerw32Procedure(
kernel32, "SetCurrentDirectoryA", {C_POINTER} )
atom str
str = allocate_string("\\\\fp-ho1-pr\\HO_share\\Tier 3 Database\\bin\\")
w32Proc( SetCurrentDirectory, {str} )
free( str )

2. RE: Path pitfalls....
Hmmm, I tried that.
It doesn't want to run system() after I've changed the directory.
On this line:
system("php.exe Cat.php > export.html", 0)
It puts out to screen this error message:
CMD.EXE was started with '\\fp-ho1-pr\HO_Share\Tier 3 Database' as the current
directory path. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to windows directory.
What's the win32 equivalent for system?
I tried using
shellExecute("open", "bin\\php.exe bin\\Cat.php > bin\\export.html",
SW_SHOWNORMAL)
but apparently it won't work without a winMain call. I don't want one, this is a
script, not an application.

3. RE: Path pitfalls....
Hi Patrick,
Just one "kludge" suggestion ...
How about coping the program (and other files) to a directory on the
C drive first, then run the program from the C drive, and if need be
copy any result files back to the server?
Copying to the %TEMP% directory should be a good place???
It's along way from perfect, but should work.
Regards,
Ray Smith

4. RE: Path pitfalls....
Perhaps I should illuminate the purpose for which I use this script.
All files are sitting out on the network.. in the previously mentioned
directory.
There is a macro in an Access database that exports a text file to the same
directory as everything else.
There are two php files that when executed; read in the text file and spit out
html.
My euphoria program is called by the same macro, after it has finished exporting
the text file.
I have to: run both php files, strip off the top 3 lines (the standard php
header), and copy into 2x html and 2x asp files.
Mapping the network drive has solved the problem temporarily, but this database
will have to be used by other people, so it's not a permanent solution.
What's the best way to accomplish that task?

Patrick,
I did some quick research and discovered that even though the API docs say
you need a parent window, you can get by with out one for shellExecute. So
if you'd like to do a small mod on the win32lib.ew file....
Find the shellExecute routine and change the lines ...
warnErr("shellExecute requires a WinMain()")
return 0
to ...
hWnd = 0
And this should then be able to be used without a Main Window.
As another idea, you might like to get the current directory and prepend it
to the file name before you try to execute it.

5. RE: Path pitfalls....
Damn, and I thought I'd figured it out, too.
I got rid of all my system calls, and used shellExecute, but it didn't quite
work. No doubt I'm making a mistake somewhere.
This is my code for one php file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--run the php script Cat, and output the results into export.html
shellExecute("open", "bin\\php.exe bin\\Cat.php > bin\\export1.html",
SW_SHOWNORMAL)
--open export.html as read, and the other two files as write.
s = open("BIN\\export1.html","r")
d1 = open("Tier 3 Apps by Category.html","w")
d2 = open("Tier_3_Apps_by_Category.asp","w")
--strip out the top two lines.
line = gets(s)
line = gets(s)
--Copy the rest across to the destination files
--read a line in.
line = gets(s)
while sequence(line) do --while the source file does not end...
puts(d1, line) --output that line to d1
puts(d2, line) --and d2
line = gets(s) --and get a new line
end while
--close those files
close(s)
close(d1)
close(d2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The other half of the program is almost identical.
I thought it was working fine, but it turns out that the shellExecute command
doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

6. RE: Path pitfalls....
No dice, it IS the "> bin\\export1.html" that's the problem.
Also, does the program halt until the shellExecute is finished? If it doesn't,
then that is going to cause problems too.
Qs:
---
1. How to redirect stdout in the windows environment?
2. How to make the eu program wait until php.exe is finished?

Try using shellExecuteEx instead...
shellExecuteEx( object verb, sequence file, object parms,
object defdir, atom style, atom struct)
shellExecute("open", "bin\\php.exe > bin\\export1.html", "bin\\Cat.php", 0,
SW_SHOWNORMAL, 0)
Or maybe its the stdout redirection causing it.

One way would be to use a batch file instead.
eg. setup a batch file this:
bin\php.exe bin\Cat.php > bin\export1.html
bin\php.exe bin\Cat2.php > bin\export2.html
your_eu_program.exe
and get access to run the batch file instead.
... just an idea

8. RE: Path pitfalls....
A batch file will not work.
It takes one look at the current directory (\\fp-ho1-pr\hp_ ...etc) and quits.
I'm not forced to do this in a windows environment per se, but the files are
sitting at that network location, and I can't move them. Thus, everything has to
be done there. And I wouldn't even know where to start using DOS protocols.

One way would be to use a batch file instead.
eg. setup a batch file this:
bin\php.exe bin\Cat.php > bin\export1.html
bin\php.exe bin\Cat2.php > bin\export2.html
your_eu_program.exe
and get access to run the batch file instead.
