PHP :: Exec And Shell_exec Not Executing Batch File Properly

Exec()-shell_exec
my server: apache2/php5 and win2k3. I'm able to use shell_exec or exec for dos command that doesn't require auth. I would like to exec certain dos command under "domainuser" "password" .So I'll be able to access remote computer etc...

example:
echo shell_exec(find /i "SomeDataImLookingFor" "RemoteWorkstationc$ ext.txt)

if i use this command in a dosshell under my user session it will return data.Of course if i execute this with PHP on the server with the phpserver account it won't function.

I have been looking for a while on google and forums but i can't find it ,i just need someone to point me to the right page/post/.

Executing Nested Loops Properly
I am uploading a text file, parsing it via file(), exploding each line via explode() and then running an insert to database.

The problem is this: When I explode the rows in the file I need to make sure there are 8 elements in each array/row. If there aren't I need to exit the loop before inserting any records. I am not sure how to properly nest my loops, the code is below. (currently the code below exits the loop if 8 elements aren't found, but inserts records until that happens...) PHP Code:

// or exec("./cat ./test", $lines, $result);
echo "result = $result ";

Exec(), System(), Shell_exec(), Etc + Nmap
i'm trying to create a script that executes nmap from my server, then displays the output.

i've tried:

$output = passthru('nmap -v -A'.' $ip');
$output = shell_exec('nmap -v -A'.' $ip');
system('nmap -v -A'.' $ip');

the problem i'm having is that using the above methods i only get the first line of output, ie.

Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-08-31 21:46 CST

and nothing else. i've managed to find a way around it by sending the nmap output to a textfile, the using file_get_contents() to pull the data back in:

exec('nmap -v -A '.$ip.' > /usr/local/www/apache22/data/nmap/'.$ip.'.html');
$file = "/usr/local/www/apache22/data/nmap/$ip.html";
$result = file_get_contents($file);
echo "(pre)$result(/pre)";

that works perfectly, but i'd rather not be writing anything to the drive. i guess the problem might be that nmap takes about 5-10 seconds to do its scan, and for some reason php doesn't want to wait that long, i really have no idea. can it be made to work without needing to write to files?

and for the curious minds, i'm not doing anything dodgy, i just wanted an online tool i could access from any computer to test networks i support .

Executing Multiple Shell Commands Via One Exec()-call
I wrote a PHP shell script under Linux which puts all existing
[E]PS-Files within a directory into a list and should then start a
single Ghostview window for each file. Sounds simple, but it's not:

The following code provides for about half of the functionality I
wanted:

==============code starts
$bla = array();
foreach ($filelist as $file)
{
$bla[] = fopen("./trash/".$file.".tmp", "w");
exec ("gv ".$file." &", $bla);
}
===============code ends

Here, all files are opened one after another. The next file opens only
after closing the current one. Actually I don't know whether the
redirection of the output towards .tmp-files complies with the
intended purpose of the redirection. The PHP manual states that when
starting programs in background, the output would have to be
redirected to a stream or file, otherwise PHP would continue to run
until the respective program is terminated (which I really wouldn't
care about at all, if it did so...).

Then I thought about writing the line I would type manually for
opening all ps-files ('gv bla1.ps & ; gv bla2.ps&; ...') into a string
and then executing that string:

===============code starts
$command="";
$bla = fopen("./trash/tmp", "w");
foreach ($filelist as $i => $file)
{
if ($i < count($filelist) - 1)
{
$command = $command."gv $file & ; ";
}
else
{
$command = $command."gv $file &";
}
}
exec ($command, $bla);
===============code ends

sadly I get an error message from the shell:
================ error message starts
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
sh: -c: line 1: `gv uges_Boden.ps & ; gv ux_Boden.ps & ; gv
uy_Boden.ps &'
================ error message ends

Batch File Deleting And Folder Deleting
I have a folder in my web site where I used php to create and copy in files. but now I can't delete them easily. The only way I know how that is possible is through php. I get an error the following ftp error:

550 th: Permission denied
I had the chmod() set to 0777 on every file and folder. But I still seem to loss control over the files when I try and do things with them through other means.

I think it is because the user I use to access the files via ftp a diffrent user. So I tryed to add a function with chown() for the new files I was posting and uploading. It didn't work on those new files. so it looks like the only thing I can do is use the unlink() function which deletes the files fine.

The only problem is now I have something like 100 sub directories all with files in them. I need to figure out a way to batch delete them. I can't find a script that goes through and finds all file contents including all sub directories and unlink those things.

I found some that will use a for loop to list out the contents of a folder but it is just files. No sub directories. Any body got any ideas on which functions I should use or know where a script is that I can base mine off of.

I am not sure how to approach this since what I tryed with chown and chmod has failed thus far. I currently have no code and am starting from scratch on this batch flushing of my directory.

Exec, Passthru Disabled So How To Call C++ .exe File?
I am at my wit's end trying to get information out of Streamline.net's
support dept about my problem. They reply quickly enough, but seem to try
and give out the least possible amount of info each time. The transcript so
far is reproduced for your amusement below.

To summarise:

I've put up a Sudoku-solving program called Sudoku.exe. I want to call it in
a php script to solve a puzzle and output the solution. It works fine with
Apache/php on my own machine, but it seems Streamline.net disable exec,
passthru etc. They eventually say, cryptically: ' CGI executables are
supported, however this is very different from executing a program from
within a PHP script'. So how would I call my Sudoko.exe file?

The 'dialog':

My last question seems to have been 'fixed' before being answered, so I'll
have another go.
I'm trying to call an .exe file on the server but get an 'unable to fork'
error message. I have Apache/php installed locally and it works fine. Do you
have to turn on 'cmd.exe' permissions or something? Try it yourself at:

Warning: passthru(): Unable to fork [Sudoku.exe (argument...)] in (.php
file...)
It's the same with exec() as well.

We do not support passthru or exec functions.

So how would I call my Sudoku.exe program from a php script?

I do not want 'scripting help', I just want to use some of the functions
that you offer as a host and which I have paid for.
As I have said what I am trying to do works perfectly on my machine, so it
must be a question of something you have to enable your end. What do you
mean you don't support passthru or exec? They are both standard php
commands.
.

You asked "how would I call my Sudoku.exe program from a php script?"
clearly this is asking us how you can use scripting?

Certain functions are disabled in PHP for security reasons.

Which functions are 'disabled in PHP for security reasons' ?

You can find this out with the inbuilt php function phpinfo()

Could you tell me where on the page that phpinfo() produces these functions
are listed? For example, passthru() does not appear to be on the page.
.

search for "disable_functions" on that page.

disable_functions lists 'no value'. So again, could you tell me where I can
find the list of standard php functions which you have disabled?
Please can you provide a link to your phpinfo file so we can investigate
this further.
We had previously checked this on a linux server, which showed the functions
that have been disabled. We've passed this on to an engineer to investigate
further.

For your information the following are disabled:

shell_exec,exec,system,passthru,popen

Your knowledge base says:
Q. Are CGI (Common Gateway Interface) executables supported?

A. Yes these are supported on either the Windows and Linux servers

But you are telling me that the only php functions which can call my
executable are disabled. Will you clarify once and for all if I can call my
exe file or not. I AM NOT ASKING FOR SCRIPTING HELP, I have books about
that. I just want to know if I can do ON YOUR SERVER what you say I can do,
and if not why not.

Send Batch Emails
All shared servers limit the # of emails sent per x amount of minutes, as they should to keep load down. My question is, I've seen perl scripts (ie. dada mail) that do whats called batch emailing which esentially allows you to send a large amount of emails by splitting the mailing list into batches to lets say 5 per minute.

Can php do something like this? I have no idea how perl does this in the first place. In php, whenever you execute a shell command, doesn't it make you wait until it completes. So is it even possible to execute a shell command through php and leave it running as a background process or however those perl scripts are doing it.
