Executing a PHP script from VBScript - php

Question

I have a classic ASP page that needs to access a file generated via a PHP script. Is it possible to call the PHP script somehow, from within VBScript?
And before anyone asks, I do not have the time to port either script. They are both very complex and I only need a short term solution at this time.
Now the below is not generating errors, but the file is not being generated. I'm ready to give up.
str = "D:\TTnav_Alpha\Alpha\Framework\EnvMgr\generate_jira_list.php"
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'response.write(str)
objShell.Run """C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.exe"" " & str ,3,true
Set objShell = Nothing

Answer 1

My .vbs code successfully calls a script in .php file.
In my .vbs file I have this:
set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshell.Run "C:\xampp\php\php.exe -f C:\Temp\test2.php"
set wshell = nothing
Double quotes must enclose the path if there are spaces within the path, e.g.:
set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshell.Run """C:\my xampp dir\php\php.exe"" " & "-f C:\Temp\test2.php"
set wshell = nothing

Answer 2

Just invoke WScript.Shell as explained at How do I execute a DOS command / batch file / exe from ASP?

' Untested
set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshell.run "c:\dos\php c:\site\script.php"
set wshell = nothing
%>
Edit: You are now trying to execute this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.exeD:\TTnav_Alpha\Alpha\Framework\EnvMgr\generate_jira_list.php
This is an invalid command (if you copy it to a command prompt, it won't run). You need to quote the paths with spaces and separate the command from the argument:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.exe" D:\TTnav_Alpha\Alpha\Framework\EnvMgr\generate_jira_list.php
In VBScript you escape quotes doubling them so you want:
objShell.Run """C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.exe"" " & str,3,false
By the way, that 3 means Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window. Don't forget to remove it before going live.
