note 50540 added to function.passthru

Regarding swbrown's comment...you need to use an output buffer if you don't want the data displayed. For example: ob_start(); passthru("<i>command</i>"); $var = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); //Use this instead of ob_flush() This gets all the output from the command, and exits without sending any data to stdout. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50540 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50540&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50540&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50540&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50540&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50540&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50540&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
