For those of you in the WAMP environment, here is a little function that you may find handy:
<?
function kill_proc($processName)
{
@$processList = win32_ps_list_procs();
foreach ($processList as $processArray)
{
$pid = $processArray['pid'];
if (basename($processArray['exe']) == $processName)
{
`taskkill /f /PID $pid 2>&1`;
}
}
}
?>
