Hi,
I'm using PHP 4.1.2 to write a webmail. I'm using Procmail along with
Sendmail. PHP runs as user nobody or user apache. Note that I have the user
id and password in my PHP script from using HTTP authentication. FYI I'm
running Mandrake Linux 8.1.
The problem is:
I want to write to some files (procmail recipe files) that'll reside in
/home/userid. I tested running su using the below code
$fp=popen("su userid","w");
fputs($fp,"userpassword");
fputs($fp,"cd /home/db/");
fputs($fp,"mkdir THIS_IS_GOOD"); //just testing if I can write to dir
fclose($fp);
exit(done);
1) Even when I enter the wrong password, my PHP code doesn't complain. It
dutifully echoes done. Why?
2) Doesn't seem like it's running as it should. How can I achieve what I
want to do - to write to a file (specifically to create procmail files
called .forward and .procmailrc file) to /home/userid/ dir from a PHP
script?
PS: If you're not familiar with procmail, don't worry abt the procmail
jargons!
Gaukia
