Hi! system(), exec(), popen() and similar has been disabled in the system I'm working on, if that's what you're talking about. :( I can't read the temp file because it's created in PHP's UID which is not the same as the script's. I also tried the FTP approach, but apparently the files written with FTP can't be manipulated with PHP. Can't create new files and can't unlink the old! No permission. I must admit I've come to hate the web hotel this is all running on! Thanks! -- -- Intent A/S Tais M.
