Because the first is a separate process, you're going to have a difficult time with this. Under Un*x, you can "echo oldpass\nnewpass\n | passwd" and it'll work. =) Whatever happens, once you launch your new process, then you're not using passthru anymore, but need something more "inter-process." The Un*x "pipe" works well for this. For more complex things, I'd write a quick shell script/C program to do the passwd call and put parameters off of it. ie, passthru(chpasswd old new verify) 'Luck! -Szii At 10:22 PM 10/22/00 -0700, Mukul Sabharwal wrote: >Hi, > >I was recently doing useless stuff with System(), >Exec(), Passthru, etc... and was wondering if i could >change my password using this : > >I tried : > >echo "<pre>"; > >passthru("whois devhome.net"); > >echo </pre>"; > >this works fine, but i can't seem to get this right : > >echo "<pre>"; > >passthru("passwd\noldpass\nnewpass\nnewspass"); > >echo "</pre>"; > >why doesn't this work, i'm not very familiar with how >to do interactive stuff... and how can i read the >output and on that basis make my decision.... maybe if >it says password too easy... but still i'll keep on >doing that... > >thanks. > >===== >To Find Out More About Me : http://mukul.tsx.org/ > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Yahoo!
