The gap from PHP to C++ is actually surprisingly small. I'd suggest, writing the program you want to do in PHP, then try to translate it into C++. You may run into difficulties trying to get the picture and text to appear 'in a box' if you know nothing about GUI programming?

Out of curiosity, why do you want the C++ application to launch a batch file when it could just do whatever the batch file does itself?

Ok step one, install Firefox. It comes with spell check built in, I am sorry but you will thank me in the end.

Second....

hackncrap - and i want to use a batch so i can practice running scripts from a script and programms ect ect .... :)

keep in mind it's hard to hide intentions with a name like "Hack n crap"... and a profile containing:

Interests:

im in to building my website and extreme sporting all about the rush..

i enjoy hacking and i am currently into my own personal studies on this subject...so far so good =)

If you are looking to do something malicious you can do it with C++ by itself, and much more efficiently. PHP developers are in demand everywhere, living in England doesn't stop you, the beauty of programming jobs is they can be done remotely. You are also only 17 years old as shown in your profile, professional firms usually will not hire you without some sort of qualification. If you want to develop PHP for money, try something like www.getafreelancer.com.

Perhaps continuing your education would be a good idea based on what I've seen of your posts and website :x

Anyway, those teach yourself books may be tedious, especially if you have prior programming knowledge and/or you overestimate your ability, but run through the exercises learn it and learn it properly. It'll make you a better programmer and if you produce higher quality programs, you're more employable.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
