Thanks for ur reply. I'm running httpd with php on my linux box. I
dont know how to enable the exec in php.ini. Tried safe mode but no
use. I get the following output from the command
[EMAIL PROTECTED] html]# php -r 'system("whoami");'
Error in argument 1, char 2: option not found r
however, with who.php, it works
[EMAIL PROTECTED] html]# php who.php
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9
root
:( I'm still stuck with it.
