Exec() Call To External Program
We are trying to use the exec() or system() calls in a php script. The program we are trying to call takes 1 parameter in the form of: email@domain.com[usercode] There are no spaces in the parameter at all and we have tried placing quotes around just to see if it mattered. We have also modified the parameter just to send it hello. Here is what we get: With no parameters the php script executes the program where it displays the error message from the program stating that not enough parameters were supplied. We then add the word "hello" to the end after a space so the command looks like this: command "hello" and the program no longer executes at all. No matter what we do, if we supply an argument to the command the php code will not execute the program.

Sessions? External Program / External Program
I am trying ac ouple of days now to learn some things on SESSIONS,but I think I am not getting it very clearly. I have a PHP page tha contains a form. Users enter data in the form, which are then written in a file (the file is created at the time a user enters some data) The file is then given as an input to an external program The external program runs and gives some results which are then stored in another file (that is created when the external program finishes) What I want to do is to somehow create these files and, when the user exits from the browser, then both files that refer to this user, will be deleted.

External Program Via PHP
I need to execute a command-line program through PHP. I have a form which includes a textarea, where the user writes his data. These data will be used as input for the commend-line program. Will I go something like: $data = $_GET['info']; Which function shall I use? System, exec, shell_exec, passthru? I can't choose which one is the correct. By the way, the command which I use when I write the script in the command line is : program_name [argument1 -> A database file] [argument2 -> info supplied by user] So, in the function that will be used, the data supplied by the user will be passed as my second argument (the 1st argument is a file in my hard disk). And, lastly, do I need to change any global settings for PHP in order to perform such actions, ie running scripts via PHP programs?

Cannot Get The Program To Run At All Through Exec
I downloaded the program called Snapshotter which allows you to take screenshots of webpages through the command-line. Server is Win2k3/XP (live/local). I cannot get the program to run at all through exec while the same directory/permissions for ffmpeg run fine. I cannot even get it to spit out the default output you get if you run it without arguments. exec("dir") works fine, but exec("c:lahSnapshotter") doesnt return anything. Registered the path in the PATH environment and still no luck, yet exec("c:lahffmpeg") works fine and returns data.

Opening An External Program
I was wondering if there was a way to be able to create a PHP program that when you click on a link or image on a webpage that it would automatically open up an application in the client's computer. I have a webpage that is sort of an 'engineering catalog'. Each item on that catalog is linked to a downloadable file. When a user clicks on this item, it should be able to open an engineering application, and pass the downloadable engineering file from the webpage into the engineering software application. Any ideas?

Exec Wont Run A Cpp Program
I'm trying to get Zonminder up and running on FC4 One of the asso programs is zmu.cpp - compiles fine. And runs from the command line IE. /u/l/b/zmu -help returns Usage. zmu -m 2 -z (real cmd) from cmd line does what it should do. However (in xx.php) exec ("/usr/local/bin/zmu -m 2 -z", $ret); doesn't. From what I can tell it doesn't even enter the program. Permissions are 755. If I change the exec to ("ls") - works, date - works. I've compared "env" - nada. SafeMode = Off. Is there ?anything? else that might cause my problem?

Exec A Commandline Program
I made a topic about this before, but got one post helping, and nothing more, even though the post did not solve the problem. I need help uploading a file and sending it to a commandline windows executable. The program is called nconvert.exe, I will be uploading dds textures and converting them to bmp pictures, then immediately offering them back for download, not storing them on the server. The command to convert a file is this: nconvert -out bmp %1 %1 being the file passed to the executable.Â

How Do I Make Sure That An External Program Does Actually Exists?
web host said there is a program /usr/bin/convert I can use to convert image files, after I call it in my code, it does not seemed to be doing anything. I'm sure the command line is right because I echo the commandline to make sure. How do I make sure that an external program does actually exists? I use if (file_exists "/usr/bin/convert")), is there any othe way? Or am I doing something wrong that the system call is not working? For example: //convert test.jpg to converted.jpg $command = "/usr/bin/convert "test.jpg" "converted.jpg""; echo $command; system($command);

Running Program
I have a program called "rlx" that takes two arguments and writes a file. The command line could be "~/rlx file b" and it executes correctly from shell. What it does is to write a file to webserver/rlx/file.dat. The permission for the program rlx is 755, the permission for the dir rlx is 777, and the text output from the program after having run it is correct. (It displays the filename and other data). Code: //Commandline tried are all these, just one of them in the real code of course: $commandline = "/home/me/rlx/rlx file b"; $commandline = "/../../rlx/rlx file b"; // since above didnt work, i tried to copy the program file to the web directory, renaming it to rlx2 so it doesnt have the same name as dir $commandline = "rlx2 file b"; $commandline = "/.rlx2 file b"; // one of following in the real code of course exec($commandline); system($commandline); shell_exec($commandline);

Exec() Not Running
I just installed ImageMagick on my development machine (OS X 10.4.7, Apache 1.3, PHP 4). I am trying to use exec() to call it. I have created a command via PHP: PHP Code: $cmd = "/usr/local/ImageMagick-6.3.0/bin/convert /Library/WebServer/Documents/one.jpg -resize 250x /Library/WebServer/Documents/photos/two.jpg" exec($cmd, $output, $retVal); I know ImageMagick is correctly installed because when I run the command via the console, it works perfectly. The "photos" directory is chmod'ed to 777. The paths are correct. I have tested a simple "ls -l ." as the command, that outputs everything just fine. Is there somehing I'm not doing right? Someting I need to disable or enable? I've gotten this exact code to work on a different server (GoDaddy of all places) so I'm quite certain it's not the code itself.

Php Exec To C Program That Writes File
I'm trying to use the exec() call in php to run a program that I've written and compiled from C. This program attempts to create a new file and write data into it. If I simply run the program from the shell, it writes the file no problem. If i run the program through an exec call in a php script, however, the program executes but it seems to not have the correct permissions to be able to write the file.

Use Exec To Run The Program Directly From The Server.
I have an image manipulation program that is run from commandline, I have never used exec before and I'm scared to becuase I don't want to mess up my server or anything. Basically, I want people to be able to upload an image, then arrange for some manipulations to take place on the file in a temporary batch file, then use exec to run the program directly from the server. The program is called nconvert.exe, and the main thing I want to do is convert DDS textures into BMP files, the command, from Windows "cmd" is: nconvert -out bmp %1 %1 being the dds file to be manipulated. How would I go about doing the exec part? I know how to do the upload, but not the exec.

Securing Data Between PHP Script And Exec'd Compiled 'C' Program
I'm using RSA Securid Tokens, and I'm going to write a little 'C' program that takes as input the userid (i.e. "jsmith") and the number displayed on the token (i.e. "123456") and returns a result code indicating whether authentication is successful. The compiled 'C' program will be called from a PHP script. I know that if I pass the parameters on the command line, i.e. authenticator jsmith 123456 the parameters are world-visible (via "ps -Af", for example) and this is an information leak. <BEGIN QUESTION> How can I pass things securely between the PHP script and the exec'd program? <END QUESTION> One way I suppose I could always use is to create a file from the PHP script and then just pass the filename to the program (assuming permissions and UID/GID were all set up correctly). But is there a more elegant way that doesn't create files, such as pipes or shared memory?

PHP Variables Inside External JavaScript File (workaround?)
I have been trying to really separate JavaScript from HTML/PHP, just like with CSS. My problem, is that I am having problems passing a PHP variable or making use of it through an external JS file. If I was using inline JS I could pass it like: <a href="bla.php" onclick=return confirm("Delete this item: <?php echo $item ?>")> Delete (works) </a> However, using similar code in an external JS file, simply passes through as text. Is there any way to accomplish something similar? The new code is much nicer: <a href="bla.php" class="delete"> Delete (doesn't quite work) </a> IS there a way to keep code this clean and properly separate the JS from the HTML while at the same time keeping the PHP $variable working? I am well aware that JS runs on the client, and PHP on the server, I am just hoping to somehow pass this variable through some work around, if not I will keep using the inline version.

External DOMEntity's
I have a question about PHP5's DOM, but I found the docs on this section are either incomplete or incorrect (e.g. wrong return types for several functions). How can external entities, or entities in general, be added to a DOMDocument? (I'm not asking about adding entity references because DOMDocument->createEntityReference works like a charm.) I should probably state the details around the problem: I am working on a templating engine that utilizes PHP5's DOM interface (http://xire.forizon.com for details) so for caching purposes if I can make the output document include cached versions of other templates via external entities (XInclude is already used, but not it isn't supported very well on the client side), then any client-side caching can also be utilized.

Getting External Data
I am logged in to Yahoo with my Yahoo ID, and I visit: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com with my browser, it will tell me which Fantasy Baseball leagues I am in, and allow me to click on one to enter the league page. I figured therefore, that if I were already logged in, that the following code, would display the same page (i.e. I would be able to see which leagues I am in): $remotefile=fopen('http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/','r'); while (!feof ($remotefile)) { $line = fgets($remotefile); echo($line); } Unfortunately, the resulting page asks me to sign in, and doesn't display the desired leagues. But I AM still logged in to Yahoo. If I were to try to visit: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com again in my broswer, it knows I'm still logged in and displays my leagues.

Maybe in admin it shows green button when it is on and when it is removed changes to red, as we have far to many to manually check daily.
