Re: Re[2]: [PHP] executing a PHP (shell script) through PHP (module)

Odd. Maybe it has to do with the fact that exec returns the last line... Perhaps if you put a /n at the end of the last line? Perl might return it automatically @ the end of a script (php doesn't and I always forget to do it...). just a shot in the dark. Anyone else have any ideas?
