I am just starting to build an Android app using Tesseract to detect the text. My idea is to put the image process part to a server built on PHP. But to start Tesseract on my Windows laptop, it needs CMD. I am not a web developer and am new with PHP; as far as I have searched on the internet, PHP cant do this kind of task. But is there any way around?

This is not a duplicate, it is not about how to access PHP from CMD, please read carefully before flagging as a duplicate.

You can execute any Windows Command from PHP like this:

$output = shell_exec("getmac");

Instead of getmac you can put any valid windows command which can be executed from Command-line.
