Maybe that's the problem. for example, the following excerpt produced some output for me. -- code <code> <?php $cmd = 'ls -la'; // the linux command $files = array(); // init the output array exec($cmd, $files); // execute the linux command and put the output in output array // dump the output echo '<pre>'; print_r($files); echo '</pre>'; </code> Anyway, check out the php manual site for more info on exec, perhaps they'll have some more information for you. :) http://au2.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php hmmm that seems odd, it should work, but well some servers I’ve come accross have disabled such php features. Maybe that’s the problem.

for example, the following excerpt produced some output for me.

– code

<?php
$cmd = 'ls -la'; // the linux command
$files = array(); // init the output array
exec($cmd, $files); // execute the linux command and put the output in output array

// dump the output
echo '<pre>';
print_r($files);
echo '</pre>';

Anyway, check out the php manual site for more info on exec, perhaps they’ll have some more information for you. :)
