Hello, This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Wed, 6 Aug 2003 at 00:56, lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you. > Hello, > Trying to prevent the output dumping of passthru() and instead store > the > output in a variable. > I read an article that suggested this: > ob_start(); > passthru("command"); > $output =3D ob_get_contents(); > ob_end_clean(); > But that didn't work. Is there *ANY* way to achieve what I want? What you put above should work, but how about... $output = array(); exec("command",$output); $output = implode("",$output); (see http://uk.php.net/implode and http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php) All the best, David. -- phpmachine :: The quick and easy to use service providing you with professionally developed PHP scripts :: http://www.phpmachine.com/ Free PHP error handling script: www.phpmachine.com/error-handler/ Professional Web Development by David Nicholson http://www.djnicholson.com/ QuizSender.com - How well do your friends actually know you? http://www.quizsender.com/
