Re: Re: Help with exec.

and its that easy! it took me a minute to figure out; but all I had to do was: if (is_resource($process)) { for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($src_ip); $i++) { fwrite($pipes[0], "$sig_desc[$i],$src_ip[$i],$dst_ip[$i]\n"); } fclose($pipes[0]); fclose($pipes[1]); proc_close($process); } thanks.
