Hello,
Is there any way to execute unix commands as though it was being done at the
shell.
I am wanting to add users to an htpasswd file.
Usually I use at the unix shell:
> htpasswd /users/jim/.htpasswd username
then are prompted for the new password
ie > password
then are promoted again to repeat the password
ie > password
I am wanting to carry out this entire process using a PHP script so I don't
have to use telnet anymore, and can then allow authorised users to change
their own password.
Please help.
