$output = array(); exec("command",$output); $output = implode("",$output); That's a good idea! Well how about this? (posted in another message) $output = explode("\n",chop($command)); That is working great and it's only one line. The problem is that I have no idea WHY it works and what the ` characters do. Can you fill me in?

$command means start up a shell, run $command in that shell, and retrieve the output of the command into a string. -jsd-
