note 20648 added to ref.exec

In case you ever had to chain from php to another program (e.g. with a cgi php that only gives part of the output, or with php-gtk), here is a little C program that kills his parent (php, for instance), then launches a program given in argument. chain.c : #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char**argv) { /* kill the parent */ kill(getppid(), 15); argv++; /* then launch the new program */ return execvp(argv[0], argv); } (compile with gcc -O3 -o chain chain.c) then in php, use <? exec('chain sh -c echo test'); ?> -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20648 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20648 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20648
