note 57890 added to ref.exec

I wrote a ftp script to transfer files from web page. The server is Redhat El 3.0. I use exec() function to execute this script. It doesn't work well. exec("./ftp.sh $host $username $passwd $file_path $file); //----- exec() dose not work well!! But if I use system(), it works. system("./ftp.sh $host $username $passwd $file_path $file); //----system() works. ftp.sh scripte: #!/bin/bash echo 'open '$1' user '$2' '$3' bi ha lcd '$4' put '$5' close quit' > ftp.param ftp -invd < ftp.param I hope this is useful for anyone trying to automatic ftp files from web page. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57890 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57890&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57890&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57890&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57890&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57890&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57890&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57890&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57890&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
