PHP Exec Function No Output
I am running PHP 5.1.6 (cli) on Linux. When i use the exec($cmd,
$output, $return) command the $output array is always blank if the
command had an error in it. There are only values if the command was
successful. How do I capture the error text returned?...

Warning: Ftp_exec() [function.ftp-exec]: SITE EXEC Is An Unknown Extension
This is kind of a part II to a question a posted earlier about exec and shell_exec not working. I'm trying to use ftp_exec to execute some simple command: $conn_id = ftp_connect("$server") or die ("Cannot initiate connection to host"); ftp_login($conn_id, "$username", "$userpass") or die("Cannot login"); $command = 'cd..' if (ftp_exec($conn_id, $command)) { echo "$command executed successfully"; } else { echo "could not execute $command"; } ftp_close($conn_id); I'm getting the following error: Warning: ftp_exec() [function.ftp-exec]: SITE EXEC is an unknown extension in /home/urieilam/public_html/work/video/test1.1.php on line 21 could not execute cd.. Have tried other commands as well, get the same. Could this be a security issue or something to do with p Safe Mode? I don't know much about commands, shell, etc..

Exec() Incomplete $output
Using Ubuntu 5, Apache2 and PHP 4 I am trying display in a web browser the output from a program I wrote in C. Here is an abridged version of my code (I can post all of it later): <?php exec( "myProg -a paramA -b paramB", $output); print "<p>Returned: $return</p>"; foreach ( $output as $val ) { print "$val<br />"; } ?> The problem is that in the web browser only the first two lines of the $output appear when there should almost always more than that (usually around 10). I have done a test with php CLI using the same code as above: php -f mycode. The right/expected ouput comes out here. Any ideas how this different behaviour might be happening? Wondering if there is some default limit on the number of lines displayed by php in the browser... or if the actual lines are too long (but 100 chars isn't too much is it?).

Exec And Redirecting Output
I've searched high and low on this group and elsewhere and can't really seem to find an answer to this question. I'm running PHP4 on a Debian box with Apache. I'm trying to run the "exec" command withsomething fairly simple like "cat", e.g. exec("cat < a.txt > b.txt");. I'm noticing that no matter what kind of redirecting/piping/whatever you want to call it I do, the redirections don't work (at least the redirecting of the output). I can run the same command from the command line and it works (of course). Is this some kind of permissions deal? I've tried making the call to be in places where a.txt and b.txt are in a directory that have R/W/X permissions for PHP (I chose a directory that I actually can successfully use the fopen et al commands with, including writing).

Getting Buffered Output From Exec?
I am running PHP 4 on Apache 1.31 for Fedora Core 2 Linux. I run a process exec("/bin/sh $my_script", $output, $return); that takes about 15-20 seconds but produces multiple lines of output throughout. Is there some way I can display the output as it comes out as opposed to waiting until the process has finished and then displaying the results?

Exec Only Returning First Line Of Output When Run Through Apache
I'm trying to get some info from a movie file & display that info on a web page. The program that does this is called "tcprobe" and is part of the transcode suite available on Linux. So far, the only way I've gotten any output to be displayed is if I send stderr to stdout, but when I do that, I only get the first line of output. To confuse matters, if I run the php on the command line, it works like I'd expect it to. Here's a code:

Using Exec() Function In PHP5
I have problem by using exec() function in PHP5, Apache and Windows XP to run an external program from my PHP page reside on server. When I call my program using exec() the page just stops (waiting for www.mysite.com...). I have used by absolute path and result was same. Also, I have tested my PHP page by running by using PHP (or PHP-cgi) interpreter in command line and it just works fine without any problem. I don't know why it doesn't work when I call it from my page. Can anybody help ? I think it is something wrong with Apache or PHP settings. Am I right ?

Exec() Function And Shell Scripts
I have a shell script written that basically grabs a selected .jpg or .png image file and wraps it as an .swf file for use in a dynamic Flash site. My question is this: What are the limitations of the exec() or system() commands? I can get them to work just fine with common linux commands(ie. ls -l, pwd, etc.), but it won't run these sort of commands: ./thisisascirptname or sh wrapper.sh I get no results with these and yet when I perform the same operation on the command line by hand, it works just fine. This is the script I'm using to test it, by the way. $lastline = exec("sh wrapper.sh", $all_output, $return_value); print("<b>Last Line:</b><br>$lastline <p> "); print("<b>All Output:</b><br> "); for($index = 0; $index < count($all_output); $index++) { print("$all_output[$index] <br> "); } print("<br><br> "); print("Return Value: $return_value<br> "); The "ls" and other similar functions all return properly. I can't figure this out and it's driving me nuts. Any help?

Using Exec Function To Get A .exe Return Status Gives CGI Error
I'm trying to make a web page to work. It worked before so it has to be something related with the configuration. My problem is a call to a compiled executable (made for me) that returns 1 or 0. It does not print any text to the standard ouput so the error is strange: CGI Error: The script can .. because of the HTTP headers (I have it in spanish so the message is not the exact one). As supposed, the HTTP headers are needed only if the executable prints out a text to the browser but it's not the case. And (I repeat) It worked as it before. The machine had to be formatted and the guy in charge of that is not with me anymore.

Php Function To Read Local Python Script Output, Not Code
On my server python has to run in the wwwroot/cgi-bin folder, but php can run anywhere. My site is going to be written in python but I don’t want my user to see the url as mysite/cgi-bin/... . So for example my homepage, index.php should contain a simple php script that will get my python page from the cgi-bin directory and display it. However when I try to use SSI or fopen/file_get_contents/readlink and commands like these it just displays the python code. Where as when I visit the python page in my browser it runs it and displays the output for me. My question is what php function can I use to execute my python page and return the output, not the code itself. (I think my hosting provider has disallowed certain powerful commands like system() etc. Does this make it impossible?). As the very least can’t my php script pretend to be a www user and ‘visit’ the python page to read the output?

Making Gmdate Output Equal Date Output
gmdate('F j, Y, g:i a',0) returns January 1, 1970, 12:00 am. How do I add to the second parameter of the date function to make it always return that same date, regardless of the time zone? Intuitively, it seems like date('F j, Y, g:i a',0 - date('Z')) should do it, but on my system, that's an hour off. Here's some sample code: <? echo gmdate('F j, Y, g:i a',0).'<br />' echo date('F j, Y, g:i a',0 - date('Z')).'<br />' echo date('F j, Y, g:i a',0 - date('Z') + 60*60); ?> And here's the output on my system: January 1, 1970, 12:00 am December 31, 1969, 11:00 pm January 1, 1970, 12:00 am Will the last echo always return the same thing as the first echo, regardless of the time zone? If so, why? It seems that the second one is the one that should do it - not the first one.

Using Exec()
I'm trying to use the exec() function to call shell scripts that in turn startup various programs under linux.. for example, when someone clicks on a link to restart a particular daemon, the daemon will then simply executed, either through the standalone command of /location/daemon or through the calling of a shell script that essentially performs an identical task. My problem is that exec() seems to only work through the user "nobody," which the Apache web server is running under. The scripts and programs I'd like to execute are under a user account named "admin." I've even tried chmod'ing all pertinent files w/ permissions that "nobody" could use to successfully access all necessary commands, without success, as the programs seem to crash whenever I do this.

PHP And Exec(dir)
I have been using opendir and scandir, but I want to try something else. Idea: using dir, and a) getting the result b) saving it as a file. As I have problems with executing files directly, it create a bat file and executes that. I can execute command, but by some reason I dont get any response (it should return something, and I get "") The missing response is why I create a file. I create the file on the network ( serversomewhere ) like this dir "serversomewherefilesdir" >"serversomewhere esult.txt" Here is the odd thing: dir cannot read from the network - the bat file is created there, it creates the result.txt file, but emtpy as it cannot read from the network. Reading from c: and it works.
