Re: system() function

Have you looked at the PHP web site function reference (www.php.net - quick ref)? There's a lot of information here on both SYSTEM and the other associated commands which you may also find useful - PASSTHRU and EXEC. To precis though, you can use just about any console command that is available on the server, just enclose it in the parentheses after the function name. To read from and write to files, use the PHP functions FOPEN and FPUTS etc directly from the web file - see Julie Meloni's site at www.thickbook.com for some good examples.
