Odd output from system()

Hi, I'm running a PHP script that uses system() to call an expect script. This expect script uses ssh2 to log into another server, and run some commands. At the shell prompt (bash) the expect script runs exactly as I'd hope. However, when I use system() in PHP to run the script, the output on the web browser includes lines like this: ]0;root@apache: /root[root@apache /root]# I'd hope to see something like this instead of the above: [root@apache /root]# My guess is that there is something that the shell and/or expect is hiding from me, that system() is displaying instead. Is there some way of telling system() that it should look exactly like it does in a shell, or to tell the shell or expect not to generate this hidden info? Any advice would be appreciated!
