note 50208 added to function.shell-exec

hi.. i am just learning php since a few days.. i had mount a website in my own pc and want let users to post messages.. anyway, i wrote a very tiny page that let you run some commands remotely, that is useful mostly as example of ereg_replace and shell_exec :D <!-----run.php----- <pre> <?php $salida=ereg_replace("<","&lt;",shell_exec($_POST["comando"])); echo "comando: ",$_POST["comando"],"<br>",$salida,"<br>"; ?> <form action="run.php" method="post"> comando: <input type="text" name="comando"> </form> </pre> -----eof-----> the ereg_replace is only for replace the "<" character at the output for his code, which html reads as a tag.. - first tou must write something in the form.. - when page is opened again it takes it, replaces "<" characters and puts in $salida variable (it may be useful later).. - then prints out and you can write something again :) .. i haven't change the ">" and other characters.. (see ereg_replace posts) one inconvinient is that you can't change drive/dir.. i was thinking running some like this before echo $lastpath; shell_exec($lastdrv);shell_exec("cd "+$lastpath); then run our command.. but i dont know if exiting shell_exec restores the home dir again.. next we must update our path again (if somebody wrotes "cd" command for example), and get $lastdrv with some filter: $lastpath=shell_exec("cd"); (anyway, $lastdrive will be the first 2 characters of $lastpath :P ) that's all 4now greetings ;) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50208 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50208&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50208&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50208&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50208&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50208&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50208&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
