How can Netstat be used to identify processes occupying specific ports in Windows?

To identify processes occupying specific ports in Windows using Netstat, you can run the command "netstat -ano" in the Command Prompt. This will display a list of active connections along with the PID (Process ID) of the processes using each port. You can then use Task Manager to match the PID with the corresponding process. 

<?php
// Run the netstat command to get a list of active connections
exec('netstat -ano', $output);

// Loop through the output to find the process using the specific port
foreach($output as $line){
    if(strpos($line, 'YOUR_PORT_NUMBER') !== false){
        $parts = preg_split('/\s+/', $line);
        $pid = end($parts);
        echo "Process using port YOUR_PORT_NUMBER has PID: " . $pid;
    }
}
?>
