note 56564 added to function.ssh2-exec

Executing remote Windows commands... After some hair pulling, I thought I'd suggest a couple things that might help others: 1. Use 'ssh2_fetch_stream' to open a stderr stream according to the manual. 2. Windows shell commands require 'cmd /C [command]' to execute. (I had forgotten this) <?php // code fragment $stdout_stream = ssh2_exec($connection, 'cmd /C dir'); $stderr_stream = ssh2_fetch_stream($stdout_stream, SSH2_STREAM_STDERR); ?> I didn't realize the need for the 'cmd /C' until I saw the stderr response 'dir: not found'. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56564 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56564&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56564&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56564&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56564&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56564&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56564&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56564&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
