Problem With Executing A Command From Within My Script
I'm working on a web-based mail quarantine management system, and am
running into some problems getting it to run the command to release a
message.
The main exertp of the script is below:
<?php
echo "Releasing /var/amavis/quarantine/" . $_POST['release'] . " to
user " . $_POST['user'] . "<br><br>";
$command = "/usr/sbin/amavisd-release " . $_POST['release'] . " " .
$_POST['secretid'];
echo $command . "<br>";
passthru($command, $return_val);
echo "<br>" . $return_val;
?>
End script
This command works fine from the command line, but won't run using this
code. It comes back with a return code of 13 each time. I've also
tried the exec and popen functions in place of passthru() with no luck.
If it matters any, amavisd-release is an executable Perl script.

Tracert :: Passing Command To Command Prompt Via Exec
I want to execute a "tracert" command in the command prompt via php (using windows) I've managed to use passthru() to open the command prompt (but it doesn't allow me to use it) and when I close it, it outputs the command prompt output in the browser. I don't mind whether the result is passed back to the browser to stays in the command prompt window (but that would use exec() I would think). So how can I tell the command prompt that launches to execute the line tracert 192.190.201.273 So far my experimental code is: <?php passthru("c:windowssystem32cmd.exe"); ?> EDIT: my backslashes have been stripped from the path, but you know what I mean!

PHP Not Executing, IIS 6
I'm attempting to run PHP on Microsoft IIS 6.0, and the PHP will not execute. For Example: test.php: <? phpinfo(); ?> When I request http://localhost/test.php I get a blank page. When I view the source, I get: <? phpinfo(); ?> Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Any resources that could guide me through the install process? The .php extensions are setup correctly (I believe) in IIS.

Not Executing (sometimes)

I should mention that I tried to upgrade MySQL today too. I was using 4.0 and upgraded to 4.1.

Executing From A Database
Store content (html and php) in a database, so far this hasn't been an issue. When I called the content from the database its displayed properly with the exception of php commands (specifically include() ). Rather then executing the include statement its printed as HTML in the source code of the document. I found one post on a PHP User Group board but the solutions provided don't seem to really work. I'm almost guessing that this is a security feature and although I'd prefer not to circumvent it, it would greatly help in what I'm trying to accomplish.

Executing Function At A Later Time
I'm making a game sort of thing in PHP and I was wondering if there was a way in PHP that I can pause the execution of a function after x seconds. I don't want the whole script to stop working though, so for example // function 1 (pauses for 10 seconds) { // function 2 } // function 3 i want the script to execute like normal, but pause for 10 seconds before executing function 2, so it would execute function 1 and function 3 then 10 seconds later, execute function 2 this is exactly like the fork() statement found in MOO programming go here to get a clearer definition. ftp://ftp.research.att.com/dist/eostrom/MOO/html/ProgrammersManual_37.html#SEC37 is there a way to do this in PHP?

I'm guessing I probably don't have permission to be creating files on my server...is there anyway I can change this permissions or anything?
