To launch an executable file from a website using PHP, you can use the exec() function in PHP. Here's an example code snippet to demonstrate how you can achieve this:

<?php
$executable_file = 'path/to/executable/file';

// Check if the file exists
if (file_exists($executable_file)) {
    // Launch the executable file
    exec($executable_file);
    echo 'Executable file launched!';
} else {
    echo 'Executable file not found!';
}
?>

In this code snippet, replace path/to/executable/file with the actual path to your executable file. When you run this PHP script on your website, it will check if the executable file exists and then launch the executable file using the exec() function.

Note: Be cautious when using the exec() function as it can be a security risk if not properly sanitized. Make sure to validate user input and use proper security measures to prevent any unauthorized access or execution of code on your server.
