Thank you, though. I'm hoping to find a solution instead with PHP. One of these generated files comes out of PHP in a different directory path where a change of directory is not possible. -- Ryan___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I have a PHP possibility I am going to try... and if that fails I think this will be the likely resolution for at least the shell script (although this still doesn't fix the PHP run command - I'll deal with that later I guess) -- Ryan___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Um changing directory *is* the way to solve this. Really. What you can do in a shell script is work in a sub-shell: that way, even if your zip command goes bananas, you are automatically returned to your original working directory. To create a sub-shell, just enclose your commands in (brackets).

Re: Zip file making issues
That changing of directories doesn't solve the PHP script I have building ZIP files, though, with a single shell command (path/to/zip /path/to/zip.zip -r /path/to/folder/to/zip). But I have solved this now with another PHP script that I can call both as part of my Apache CGI but also as a CLI. I just have to implement it which I will do in the morning. -- Ryan On Sep 21, 2010, at 12:14 AM, Matthew Seaman wrote: On 21/09/2010 04:53:58, Ryan Coleman wrote: As I said in my OP: I could just run a cd to the directory parent and do it there - that would solve the problem - but that's simply too dangerous if the script generator throws an error on the next set of commands (a risk I do not want to take).
