I was using the command "passthru", which is supposed to pass the *output*
of an external program through to standard out. In other words, let's say I
wanted people to be able to see how long my system was up, I could have a
PHP program display other information and then call the Linux command
"uptime" and pass the result to the user's browser. For the application
that I'm working on, I need to use "passthru" (or possibly "system") rather
than having a line or two of output passed back to the PHP program because
the external program I'm using will produce up to hundreds of pages of
output.

I want the variables in the PHP program to be available to the external
program through the shell environment of the forked external program.
