How to implement a .bat file call from php?

Question

PHP

I need to call a .bat file from php, and exec and shell_exec are not suitable, or I just don’t know how to cook them.
The fact is that if you run a bat file that locally calls the php script, then it does not crash on time, and if you call the php script directly from the web on a remote machine, it crashes on a 504 timeout.
If anyone knows how to fine-tune exec and shell_exec so that they are correctly called on Windows .bat file please tell me. It didn’t work for me right away, because apparently the script also crashes on timeout ....
Thank you!

Answer 1

system("cmd /c C:[path to file]");

Answer 2

exec('file.bat'); - this is how it works for me
