Note Submitter: Scott ---- Can someone tell me why system() isn't receiving the variable correctly? <html> <body> <form id="blacklisted" name="blform" method="POST" action="test.php"> <input type="text" name="ip" size="20" > <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Check"> </form> <?php $ip = $_POST['ip']; echo 'Checking '.$ip.'<br>'; echo '<pre>'; system('./rbl.pl',$ip); echo '</pre>'; ?> </body> </html> echoing the $ip shows up just fine but when it goes to use that variable in the system() command it acts as if its not there. Thanks for any help.
