Hi Paul,
this should help you out
<?php
$LastLine = exec("ls -lrt", $AllOutput, $ReturnValue);
print("Last Line: $LastLine <BR>\n");
print("All Output:<BR>\n");
for ($index = 0; $index < count($AllOutput); $index++)
{
print("$AllOutput[$index] <BR>\n");
}
print("<BR><BR>\n");
print("Return Value: $ReturnValue<BR>\n");
?>
should work a treat for you ...
cheers
Peter
