RE: [PHP-WIN] Uptime script

Have you tried backticks? 'echo uptime';? That has worked for me in the past... it seems, from other postings, that people have nothing but trouble with exec() and system(). Good luck, Ben -----Original Message----- From: Dave Milford [mailto:davemilford@home.com] Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 6:50 AM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] Uptime script Hi, I'm trying to create a little script to show the system uptime (and hopefully system resource usage) on my Windows 2000 Professional SP2 box. I'm currently running Apache 1.3.20 and PHP 4.0.6 on it... It should be noted that I have MS' "uptime" program installed. So far, I've tried using: system(uptime); That didn't work. I get the following printed: "Warning: Unable to fork [uptime] in d:\www\inc_top.html on line 58". So I hit the PHP website, found out some other methods of doing this, like: PRINT exec("cmd \\c uptime"); This time it displays: d:\www> (that's my HTTPd root dir) How could I get this displaying my uptime, and maybe even resource usage? Any help would be appreciated.
