note 51649 added to function.exec

If you have safe_mode enabled I think there is no way to use this function when you want to use the I/O-Redirection to e.g. output in a file: <?php $cmd = '/path_to_safe_mode_directory/ls -alh >myfile.log'; exec($cmd); ?> safe_mode encloses every parameter in quotes, so your call would be actually executed like this: <?php exec('/path_to_safe_mode_directory/ls "-alh" ">myfile.log"'); ?> There is no way (at least after 6 hours of testing and trying) in changing this except a) turning safe_mode off or b) creating a hardcoded bashscript to call <?php $cmd = '/path_to_safe_mode_directory/myownbashscript.sh'; exec($cmd); ?> But then you loose the the possiblity to use a dynamic I/O redirecting, what I really didn't like sadly... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51649 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51649&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51649&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51649&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51649&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51649&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51649&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
