Re: Wildcard search

<<Well, as a general rule, it won't work if you're not using a UNIX o/s orif PHP has been set up with safe mode on, or if you don't have the rightpermission to see that folder. That's probably a non-inclusive list, butthere should be ways around each of these problems (depending on thedegree of control you have over the server).>> These are fine. I'm not going to use Windows for a server. Won't the same problem in relation to directory permissions stop me even if I just did a simple readdir()? The only one I'm too worried about is the safe mode thing. It works for now, though. The next server I'm moving to will hopefully be my own, so I'll have complete control. And, if not, all of my shell_execs() are in a function, so I only have to change it in one place. But is it less troublesome to use a popen instead of shell_exec? What are the differences, aside from that popen remains open past one command? I'm using both here and there in my site, and am wondering if one is better than the other if all my shell commands are single-line commands. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
