Note Submitter: cho at stunt growth dot com ---- Note to the persons who suggested using backticks for gathering a return value from scripts via system(). Using Backticks is generally frowned upon for security sake. They can be exploited more easily. Instead, why not use the exec() function with a return parameter specified as an array type. This will allow you to take the full string returned from your script (for example rsync) and return each line in an array. like so: $result = array(); exec( $cmd, &$result); foreach ( $result as $v ) { // parse, or do cool stuff } Hope this alternative brings you merriment.
