Hi!
If I do like this from a unix shell :
cat /etc/passwd | php -f test.php
... is the content of /etc/passwd then available as a variable/array to the
test.php script ? (it doesn't show up in a phpinfo)
Problem is : I need PHP to parse the output from a program. This program can't
be controlled/executed by PHP because it's normally run by the OS. Instead, it's
possible to define command line options for this program as a entry in
/etc/rc.config, and this way I can let the OS execute both the program, and pipe
the output to both PHP, and the normal thing; to a file.
