um.. shell_exec()? (ini.safe-mode-exec-dir)

[reshma]

the thing is that i do not want the output of the C code. I just want the code to be executed...in that case i am not sure if shell_exec will help....

um.. exec()?

check the PHP: Program execution Functions - Manual

do you have the permission to access your desktop through php?

Try placing the navit application inside your website root, and calling it from there.

Also - you may need to use navit.exe, not just navit.

You may need to change (cd) to the correct directory first. I've had similar problems and sometimes that's the fix.
