Don't add the Apache user to /etc/sudoers -- Apache's security model relies on that user being unprivileged. >> lynx --source >> http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KTOL.html |grep >> -v '41-35-19N' |grep TOL | head -n 1 >> >> I need to get the output of the above command for a web site I'm >> working on. I've tried exec(), system() and neither seems to work. Have you verified that lynx, grep, and head are in PHP's path?
