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..

Ssh2 Mod And Exec Function
Something very strangne happens with the function ssh2_exec, i can't read the stream answer after execution in the remote computer. I work with apache 1.3.30 and php 4.3.10 , libssh 2.0.5 . the ssh2 module looks to work correctly but sftp functions cause a big delay causing server timeout and ssh2_exec can't read the output. Tryed many things recommeded in php website and forums but always the first ssh2_exec reading success and the following ones fail. $stream=ssh2_exec($conn_id,'/usr/bin/ls ./public_html'); I tryed to read the output with: stream_set_blocking( $stream, true ); $cmd=fread( $stream, 4096 ); after while($line = fgets($stream)) { $cmd .= $line; } and while( !feof($stream) ) { $cmd .= fgets($stream) } Nothing success to catch the output for the second execute order.

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 Not Working Well
I run a CentOS 5 server with WHM/Cpanel, the problem is when a user on my host use the function "move_uploaded_file" they get written in the uploaded dir with the permission 600 and not 644 as they should be. Yea i know that this can be fixed with a chmod(); function added into the script. But thats not a good solution cuz my host users want to use their scripts and i can't say all the time edit the source code and add a chmod(); function for the file uploads so they get chmod 644 permission after upload. I now that this can be solved in some way, my old server was a managed server and all was pre-installed and there the "move_uploaded_file();" function worked well with writing the files in to the upload-dir with chmod 644, but for me on this server it writes the uploaded file with the permission of 600.

PHP Mail Function Stopped Working
Yesterday before 2:30, we were receiving email from the servers just fine. The same code today doesn't work. We haven't received an email for almost 24 hours now from the server. I've looked at every different way we send email: Newsletter program: works with SMTP send, but not PHP mail send (it has the option) CGI Forms: work PHP Mail pages - nothing. I've gone through everything I did yesterday, and I can't find anything that I could have changed that could possibly be making this type of problem occur. After 2:30, I picked up my kids from school, created two new pages on the domain that had nothing to do with mail, and got a CSR for a new SSL cert. Our server admin doesn't remember doing anything either. What could possibly be causing this?

However Im not sure if this is the case or if this even matters I have a pdf that needs to be hosted on a page and it cant be downloaded unless they pay for it first. So I have the file chmoded to 000 meaning noone can do anything to it. However if they have paid I want to chmod it to 005 so they can download it. This isnt working. The file permissions dont change at all, im using this line chmod("filename.pdf",0005);
