Hi all,
I'm unsure how to describe this but I'll try.
The following code works fine in its own PHP script;
$mkdircmd = '/bin/mkdir /homes/'.$uid;
exec($mkdircmd);
But when placed in a larger PHP script being part of the
ldap_provisioning module in Drupal, the Drupal GUI is blank until I
do;
$mkdircmd = "'/bin/mkdir /homes/'.$uid";
... were I surrounded the variable with "", which causes it to not
work.
$mkdircmd = "/bin/mkdir /homes/$uid";
or
$mkdircmd = "/bin/mkdir /homes/${uid}";
Should fix the syntax.
I guess you've already solved the permissions problem on the /homes/
folder (normally the web server would not be able to create such a
path because of permission issues).
Blank GUI - no idea. Anything in the error logs (php or apache) ?
Maybe asking on a drupal specific list would be a better idea for
that one.

Thanks Chris.
I appreciate the response. I was hoping my description wasn't too
vague because I don't really understand what I'm doing.

This might sound stupid because I've not played with Drupal, but
what's
wrong with using the mkdir command in PHP instead of the exec call?
