I had a xampp on a server 2002, and now I migrated it to a server 2008. Same version, same settings, copied everything to the new location.
Now the below script not runs:

Code: Select all

$cmdResult = shell_exec('nbtstat -A ' .$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

Though $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] returns the IP, but the above code returns nothing.
I suppose this is some permission issue? It can't execute the code on the new server? Under what user (SYSTEM?) are these codes run?
Please help me.

ntbstat is a call to NetBIOS (over TCP/IP). Maybe there is no NetBIOS installed/active? It is unused in newer Windows Versions (since Windows 2000).

I can use nbtstat in a command prompt without any issues.
