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.

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.

Writes The Email Address To The Text File
I've got a PHP form processor running that sends the forms fields via email and then writes the email address of the sender to a text file on the server. I've got it working perfectly except when it writes the email address to the text file, it puts them all on the same line. I need to get it to put each address on the next line down. This is probably a pretty simple thing to do but my eyes are bugging after trying for a while now. Here is the code that writes to the text file: ////////////write to file/////////// $out = fopen("/home/myserver/leads.txt","a"); if (!$out) { print("Could not append to file"); exit; } $T1 = $_POST[$reply_to_field]; fwrite($out,"$T1 "); fclose($out);

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() 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.

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?

Checkboxes - Loop That Takes The Values And Processes And Writes The Changes To The Database.
I generate a form page from my MySQL database. let's say the table structure is: Table A > ID, title, active the number of rows generated by the query is dynamic. If a field's value is 1, then the form output appears as <input type=checkbox name=$ID checked> $title and if not <input type=checkbox name=$ID> $title At the bottom of the form there is a submit button. The visitor can check/uncheck rows and then submit the form. I need to write a loop (possibly foreach) that takes the values and processes them and writes the changes to the database.

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.

Do I also have to escape the $movedFile content? Forexample $movedFile= "c:webuploadsomeFile".

Exec And Shell_exec Not Executing Batch File Properly
I am running Apache and PHP on windows XP. Latest versions of them all. I am trying to execute a simple .bat batch file that simply copies 4 files from one location to the batch files location. The php exec command runs like this: V:Corehtdocswp ransfer.bat Y:folder here the batch file is executed and the command following is thrown into the batch file to specify where the files that need to be copied are. The Y: directory is in windows considered to be a network drive, although it is really just a folder on the same machine, i did this because there are spaces in the folder names on its way to where I need the information copied from i.e. "Program Files" When I run this in the command prompt by entering this in manually it runs perfectly. However when running exec in the PHP script nothing happens; when I run shell_exec it gives me the output and it shows that every line in the batch file is executed however it does not actually copy anything. Looking into my apache error log I see that this is related: "The system cannot find the drive specified." Now what I am wondering is, how is it that I can run this script manually but apache tells me I cannot. My permissions are set to allow all and deny nothing since it is a machine well tucked into a safe place. Apache resides on the machine in C: eactorcore and it also setup a virtual drive as v:core. Trying both does not work.

How To Program OOP
I use OOP for a PHP Application Framework I am programming. I have one base class which includes all the necessary functions and variables which all the other classes use. So what I originally did was that I made an instance of the base class and passed it to the other classes. Now someone insisted that this is not the way to do it. so I used 'extends base' to make the base class available to the other classes. Afterwards it worked fine, but it didn't make the code smaller nor did it result in faster speed. I used the benchmarking script from PEAR. So I wonder whats the difference between those two solutions, both work fine. Are there some tools to analyse how much memory a script uses?

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.
