How to write and read windows registry data with php?

Question

I need to write and read data in windows registry with php , how to do ?

Answer 1

To write to the Windows registry, run the command reg import

<?php
exec('reg import c:\arquivo.reg');

To read a Windows record, run the command reg export

<?php
// Exporta o registro para um arquivo texto
exec('reg export Hkey_local_Machine\Software\blabla C:\arquivo.reg');

// Em seguida, faz a leitura desse arquivo
$registro = file_get_contents('C:\arquivo.reg');

// Agora você trabalha com funções de manipulação de string para abstrair o que necessita da variável `$registro`.

The ".reg file" will have something like this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\leroLero]
"parametro1"=valor
"parametro2"=valor
"parametro3"=valor

So you abstract what matters is the parameters and the respective values.

*How to manipulate the string is another subject. You can ask a new question to avoid making the topic "too broad", which is reason for closing.
