Re: How to get exec() to display output from UNIX Shell Environemnt?

I have read the manual but haven't seen anything that work with system, passthru, exec for this command code. Here's the example that I use for exec() and curl with one example script and it work. --snip-- exec("curl -d \"$XP_ECALS_STR\" 2>&1 ".TARGET_URL, $result_array, $res_code); --snip-- But with this one, it doesn't work. As you can see, this is not really much different from the 1st example. --snip-- exec("curl -u \"$BASIC_AUTH\" -d \"$XML_REQ_STR\" 2>&1 ".TARGET_URL, $result_array, $res_code); --snip-- Thanks, Scott F.

How can I do that? It is very helpful for > troubleshooting purpose. Use the second argument of exec(), or use system(), depending on your need. Read The Manual for exec() and system(). It's pretty clear.
