Re: note 8439 added to system

If you do need to capture the output, do not use system, use the backticks or exec: exec("ls",&$list); The output will be in the $list array, change it as you see fit. $list = ls; Note the use of backticks, $list will be a string containing all the resulting output from the command. All of this is documented in the manual. --- Eric Stewart <eric@dudley.lib.usf.edu> wrote: > Actually I've found that this doesn't work as > desired for > 'system', since the string 'returned' by system is > the last line ... all > other lines are echoed (to the browser) and since > they are echoed, they > aren't used as inputs to any function that calls the > system function. :( > > On Thu, 14 Sep 2000, J.
