Re: need help on system()

hhhm, I played around a little and found another solution which you might find usefull <? exec("/bin/ls -al /home/marcd",$ls); Array($ls); $max = sizeof($ls); $num = 0; while ($num <= $max) {

        echo $quota[$num],"<br>\n";
        $num++;

} ?> This way you can execute any command and put the output to an array, in the while loop you can print any line in the array. Marc van Duivenvoorde At 01:38 PM 7/11/2001 +0200, Marc van Duivenvoorde wrote:

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

    system("/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/quota -v test")

?> php < test.php - I can get the output in the browser: http://localhost/test.php - I cannot see any output However, <?php

    system("finger");

?> I can both get the output in the console and browser. Does anybody know the reasons?
