Re: Problems with Linux PHP

<<I'm having a couple of problems while porting some software from Lynx OS to Linux. Here they are: 1. The encryption method seems to be different. Does anyone know the salt to use in the crypt() function in Linux? 2. Also, I seem to not be able to popen() in Linux. I get a file pointer which is blank. Does anybody know why??? To add a little info to my post, I've found out something about my problem. I'm getting the error message "popen("chmod 700 session", "r+") - Invalid argument in file.php3 on line ###". The line that gives this command is: if($fp = popen($command, "r+")) { The $command is "chmod 700 session". This problem shows up in Linux 2.2.12, but this command works fine in LynxOS 3.0.1. I found some information that says that popen doesn't work with some versions of Linux because the kernel is broken on those versions. Is there a way around this that is used by both (and all other Unix) OSs? Am I stuck? Thanks in advance again, Liam
