How can I pass parameters like a large string of >let say XML? You're missing the shell escaping. Try something like this: $xml = '<greeting>hello</greeting>'; $xml_shell = escapeshellarg($xml); $result = shell_exec("/usr/bin/java/java -jar MyApp.jar -XML $xml_shell"); See: <http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellarg.php> If you need to pass the value through standard input, you can pipe it out of echo: $result = shell_exec("/bin/echo -n $xml_shell | /usr/bin/java/java -jar MyApp.jar -XML"); Regards, Bob -- Robert E.
