Re: EOF: how to generate one in a string

I'm at wits end ... I've tried everything from system(), shell_exec(), bacticks, popen() and still no go ... I even tried writing the data to file first and then doing a system("./prog 2>&1 < ./datafile") and that didn't work either. I know that it shoudl work b/c if from the command line I issue the same command (using the file created by PHP) it works fine. Can anyone offer advice on why I can't get PHP to execute this external program? Thanks! Jc
