Here is an example on how to install software using php shell_exec("cd /usr/local/src/; gunzip program.tar.gz; tar xvf program.tar; cd program; ./configure; make; make install); Now depending if your root or not some commands like "make install" may fail. This doesn't do any error checking, the reason for that is I do not know how to cd to a directory and then execute another command unless they are in the same shell. So basically, take what you type on the command line and string them together. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30549 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30549 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30549
