System(); Command Not Working On Remote System. Windows.
My server is a windows machine, on the same domain as python(also a windows machine). Apache is running as a service as an administrator. This is a test only environment to whom it may concern(I hate people telling me how insecure my system is) I'm just trying to run: $last_line = exec('dir pythonc$', $retval, $g); print_r($retval); echo '<br>'.$g.'<br>'; echo '$last_line= '.$last_line.'<br>'; Which outputs: Array ( ) 1 $last_line= The command from the command line works fine. And apache can access directories that only administrators can access on the local machine.

System() And Exec()
If you start a program using this function and want to leave it running in the background, you have to make sure that the output of that program is redirected to a file or some other output stream or else PHP will hang until the execution of the program ends. I have tried numerous time by redirecting to a file or other stream to free up a php web page that called a perl script for example, but the php script always hangs...has anyone had any luck freeing up a calling php script from a process, or program that it launched in the background?

Bug In System And Exec Commands
If PHP is running via a web server, and mutiple system calls are made within the script to another script, hundreds of processes are created. Here is an example: Script 1: <?php for ($i=1; $i<=5; $i++) { system("php script2.php"); } ?> Script 2: <?php exit; ?> The effect is the same (and more difficult to stop) when the system calls are made in the background. e.g. system("php script2.php >>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null &"); system("php script2.php >/dev/null 2>&1"); I have even tried calling a shell script, which in turn calls the second PHP script (both in the background), but it still causes lots of processes. The "exec" command is also affected. At first, I thought this was a problem with either Zeus web server of Fast CGI, but I have since tried it with Apache and normal CGI with the same effect. Does anyone have any idea why this happens and whether there is any way to prevent it? I have posted a bug report to bugs.php.net (ID 14997), but so far to no avail.

Exec() And System() Problems
I am trying to use php's exec() or system() to execute a shell script that I wrote. exec and system() work fine with a simple command like ls, but nothing happens when I point it at the shell script. The shell script works fine from my shell login. Can't figure out what tho problem is. Is php just incapable of running shell scripts?

System/shell/exec/etc
I've got PHP 5.1.6, Apache 2.2.2, on Fedora 5. Everything is great except that when I use an of the external launching commands, persistent apps dont stay open. I have a simple shell script set up to load an app, and I have it write a PID file. Immediately after calling exec (milliseconds later) the PID is alive. However, within a few more milliseconds it seems to close. I've made sure that the apache uid/gid have full access to the script and the apps it calls. When sudo'ing manualy in a shell with the apache uid, the script works flawlessly and loads the program, and stays open, as it should. I've verified that the app loads under the uid 'apache' with ps. When running it through PHP, it seems to close almost immediately after succeeding. Is there some fundamental issue with how this works that I'm missing? I can't seem to get any real errors out of php, apache, or even the shell when redirected to a file. Should I try PHP4? Is PHP5 buggy with this kind of thing? I even tried running 'at' to schedule the script (so that it'd be invoked by at instead of the shell itself) but that failed, silently, as well.

Exec(), System() And Win 2003
I have searched high and low for the past 2 days for an answer to my problem. I have found a few references, but nothing has helped me. My problem is this: I am trying to ping a remote server from a PHP script in IE 6.0. When I load the page, the cmd.exe loads on the server and takes up all my CPU. I have to manually stop the process for it to go away. My setup is this: Windows 2003 Server PHP 5.0.1 I have tried - giving my system32cmd.exe full IUSR_%machinename% rights - moved the cmd.exe to the script folder, to the PHP folder And about a million other things that I can't remember =(. I have tried multiple functions, written in mulitple ways and the outcome is always the same. when the cmd.exe is opened it hangs on the 2003 server.

Use Exec() In PHP 5.2 On A Windows XP Pro System
I'm trying to use exec() in PHP 5.2 on a Windows XP Pro system. What I'm trying to do is use it to tell an already running program what to. For example: X:pathprogram.exe /something or X:pathprogram.exe /something_else If I do the command through the command line, it works, but so far I have been unsuccessful in PHP. Usually it PHP just hangs, and give no error message, and does nothing to the program.

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 .

Command Window - Exec/system

Exec And System Commands Blocked By Host
I've got this code, its the simpliest example I could make. It works perfectly on my windows xp/apache/php box, but doesn't do anything on a commercial website host. The actual code should use gzip to compress a folder but that doesn't work either. Anyone know the reason why they would be blocking these commands? I suspect the problems with commonly used php apps like phpBB to be the real reason. <? exec("ping 127.0.0.1 > test.txt") or die(); // get contents of a file into a string $filename = "test.txt"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); echo $contents; ?>

Refreshing Browser Data - Cache Controls Not Working

I have included the following headers at the top of the source page. header("Expires: Thu, 1 Sep 2007 07:00:00 GMT"); header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); header('Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', FALSE); header("Pragma: no-cache"); Still no luck. Any idea on how to do this? I accomplish image refreshing by attaching a random number to the file. Example: <?php $rand=rand(100000,999999); $rand="?".$rand;?> <img src="<?php echo $picture.$rand;?>"> I cannot get something similar to work on the included php file.

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.
