Re: need help on system()

I would do it this way . <? $quota = /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/quota -v test;

        // please mind that the command is between backtics and not quotes

echo $quota;

        // It probably doesn't produce a nice looking output but you can change that yourself
        // This doesn't work when you have safe mode on in your php.ini file, because then
        // it doesn't allow commands to be run within backtics.

I run the php script as following: <?php //test.php
