[PHP] Newbie... Executing UNIX commands...
im using PHP + APACHE on Linux Box
i wonder what command in PHP can i use to execute Unix commands
i got to read also exec(), system(), passthru(),popen(), and
excapeshellcmd()
but what if i want to use the command "ls" and store ALL output in a
variable
i thought system() is enough but system function outputs the result on
the page...
actual code:
<%php
$var = system("ls /tmp/");
%>
if u can see no "echo" command..
lastly is there a possibility that resulting output from "ls" will be placed
in a list... or array.(since PHP doesnt have list)
: (
thanks in advance
