PHP directory copy on a windows machine

[Mindwr@ck]

I have a PHP page that when data is submitted it also creates a directory named with some of the values passed, it also does a copy of a directory into the newly created directory.  Everything works perfectly, except (lol there is always an except) during the copy process the DOS box pops up.  I am wanting to run the command silently and can not find the answer anywhere.  Here is what the PHP command looks like:

Code: [Select]

exec('xcopy c:\\Intranet\\www\\reports6\\copy c:\\Intranet\\www\\reports6\\Client_Files\\ASR'.$id.'-'.$jobid.'\\pictures /e/i ');

As you can see I am using xcopy to move the files on the local machine (windows based).  Any suggestions here on how to make it happen silently or on a better way to do this.  I have researched many ways to do this and most of them are very long and bloated for the simple process I need.

Thanks

No answers.. hmmm.. ok maybe I should approach this in a different manor, does anyone know of a way to use php to copy a complete directory, place and name it based on values passed on the server silently so the users are not aware it is happening?
