note 24093 deleted from function.exec by cmb

Note Submitter: ronperrella at NOSPAM dot hotmail dot com ---- I ran into the problem of not being able to set environment variables for my kornshell scripts. In other words, I could not use putenv() (at least to my understanding). The solution I used was to write a script on the fly, then execute that script using exec(). <?php $prgfile = tempnam("/tmp", "SH"); chmod($prgfile, 0755); $fp = fopen($prgfile, "w"); fwrite($fp, "#!/bin/ksh\n"); fwrite($fp, "export MYENV=MYVALUE\n"); fwrite($fp, "ls -l\n"); // or whatever you wanna run fclose($fp); exec($prgfile, $output, $rc); ?> then delete the temp file (I keep it around for debugging.)
