Per the docs, system.popen does not work on Windows:

http://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html#system_methods

There's probably a better way, but this might work:

system.exec('c:\php\php.exe c:\sbbs\myscript.php ' + someargs + ' >c:\poop');
const f = new File('/poop');
f.open('r');
const poop = f.readAll();
f.close();

Now variable 'poop' will be an array of lines of output from your command.

If I were doing a lot of this, I'd probably make a function that:

- Takes the command-line to execute as an argument
- Generates a random tempfile name
- Runs the command and tacks on the redirect to the temp file
- Reads the temp file contents
- Deletes the temp file
- Returns the temp file contents

And then I'd probably still feel a bit gross.
