Hello!
I think we are almost there yet :)

 This seems to suggest that shell_exec() does not like your command and is
 not 
 executing it, so:
 
 Try tackling it logically, step-by-step:
 
   Have you:
  
   1) Turned on full error reporting?
 
  How do i turn that on?
 
 In php.ini, once you've enabled it, restart webserver and see what errors,
 if 
 any, you get.
ok, i have enabled that with error_reporting(E_ALL); 

 
   2) Checked that (i) you're not running in safe_mode, or (ii) if you
 are,
   that
   you are allowed to access those executables?
 
  i am running in safe mode.
 
 What is the answer to (ii)?
Yes, i do have acces to those files and the permissions are correct.

 
 Are you able to execute any shell programs/commands at all? Hint try
 something 
 simple like shell_exec('touch /tmp/testfile') and see whether
 /tmp/testfile 
 is being created.
Yes, i am. 

I think the key is here somewhere:

Hi,

$var=shell_exec(/usr/local/bin/mplayer -identify -frames 0

echo Output: $var;

Still gives nothing back :/

Re: [PHP] shell_exec with pipes

2003-11-12 Thread Mario Ohnewald
ok, i am running the script like this now:
 START -

$var=shell_exec(/home/lansinplayer/server/apache/htdocs/lansinplayer/getfilelength.sh 
/tmp/pitstop.mpeg);
echo --$var--;
 STOP -
Where echo returns nothing. I did a chmod 777 on the getfilelength.sh file.


When i run the file in shell i get this:
$ /home/lansinplayer/server/apache/htdocs/lansinplayer/getfilelength.sh
/tmp/pitstop.mpeg
16


The Shell file looks like that:
if [ $1 ];then
length=`mplayer -identify -frames 0 $1 2/dev/null| grep ID_LENGTH
| cut -d \=\ -f 2`
echo $length

 If you're still having trouble with it you can try sticking the above into
 a 
 little shell script and shell_exec() the shell script instead.
See above.


Any further ideas?

[PHP] shell_exec with pipes

2003-11-11 Thread Mario Ohnewald
Hello List!
I have tried to get this command working with php for about 2Weeks now, and
i would like you to try to get this thing working.

This shell command:
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -identify -frames 0 /tmp/pitstop.mpeg 2/dev/null|
grep ID_LENGTH | cut -d = -f 2

gives me the result 16 back, the LENGHT of the filename.

$var=shell_exec(/usr/local/bin/mplayer -identify -frames 0
/tmp/pitstop.mpeg 2/dev/null| grep ID_LENGTH | cut -d = -f 2);

just wont for some reason! $var ist just empty.
I was playing around with stderr and stdout and stuff, but i dont know why
php wont deal with it as shell does.

$var=shell_exec(ls -al); 
for examle works just fine!

Could someone please give it a try, cause i have spent hours in irc channels
and googeling around to get this solved :/



Thanks a LOT!!

Mario

 Have you tried escaping the pipes and quotes?  Try this:
 
 $var=shell_exec(/usr/local/bin/mplayer -identify -frames 0 
 /tmp/pitstop.mpeg 2/dev/null\| grep ID_LENGTH \| cut -d \=\ -f 2);

nope, still get nothing back.

  Did you put a closing form tag? /form
 you are right, the closeing tag was missing, well, it still doesnt

 Does this form refer to itself, or another page? Also, like

 echo the variable before writing to a directory to see what is getting

$var_from_dropdown = $_POST['theme'];
exec(echo $var_from_dropdown  /tmp/varfromdropdown);

the exec line seems to works since it created the file. But it stays emty.

 From: Scott Houseman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]


 Hi there.

 The value from that dropdown will be returned to you in the variable

 $_POST OR $_GET, depending on which method you used to submit
 the form.

 Assuming you use POST, you can access the selected value like this:

 $var_from_dropdown = $_POST['theme'];

 Regards

 Did you put a closing form tag? /form
you are right, the closeing tag was missing, well, it still doesnt
work/stays emty ;/


// Theme
echo '
form name=theme action=options.php target=right class=menu
method=POST
nbsp;nbsp;select name=theme';
for($i=0;$isizeof($theme_name);$i++)
{
echo option value='.$i.'.$theme_name[$i]./option\n;
}
echo '/selectnbsp;nbsp;input type=submit name=get value=select';

echo '/form'; //i tried it here

$var_from_dropdown = $_POST['theme'];
exec(echo $var_from_dropdown  /tmp/varfromdropdown);

//echo '/form'; //and here, to be sure. Of course never toghether!
