Re: PHP Linux "locate" to html script?

Aww, I answered this one already too... I thought I beat everyone in as well, but maybe the list is still slow?? Passthru() is better then exec() in this case, since he wants everything from locate, I couldn't get the explode to work on my system because it didn't catch the "\n" character very well, or I messed up in the code somewhere. What would the explode look like for this: <?php $item = passthru('locate whatever'); $items = explode("\n",$item); echo "<html><body><P>"; echo $items[0]; echo "</P></body></html>"; ?> ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Ramsey <lists@benramsey.com> Date: Friday, September 3, 2004 2:44 pm Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP Linux "locate" to html script? > According to the manual, exec() "does not output anything.
