I've been able to manage keeping all the users 'virtual' and not needing to hand out shell accounts. -- William Fong - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 626.968.6424 x210 | Fax: 626.968.6877 Wireless #: 805.490.7732| Wireless E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Jeremiah Jester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "William Fong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 11:45 AM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] accessing system cmds w/ PHP : Is there a way around this?

Just remember you will be running those commands as the web server, which usually have limited access rights. -- William Fong - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 626.968.6424 x210 | Fax: 626.968.6877 Wireless #: 805.490.7732| Wireless E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Kevin Traas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Beau Lebens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Jeremiah Jester'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 10:38 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] accessing system cmds w/ PHP : Beau, you're such a l33t h4x0r ;-) : : - Original Message - : From: "Beau Lebens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : To: "'Jeremiah Jester'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 5:33 PM : Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] accessing system cmds w/ PHP : : : > JJ, : > I seem to recall most people saying that the shorthand works best : > : > $output = `chmod -R 777 *'; : > : > HTH : > : > beau : > : > // -Original Message- : > // From: Jeremiah Jester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] : > // Sent: Thursday, 28 February 2002 9:37 AM : > // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : > // Subject: [PHP-DB] accessing system cmds w/ PHP : > // : > // : > // Can anyone tell me how to access linux system commands using : > // php.
