HI,
I am working on a PHP project that interacts with command line utilities.
My php is running by apache. Means I am not running any php CLI.
here is the function that I am using for capturing command output.
function run_command($comamnd){
$ret=`$command 1> COMMAND.OUT 2>1`;
$contents=get_file_contents("COMMAND.OUT");
return $contents;
}
The function does not work. If I use any shell command like ls, cat,
echo, set. it works.
But If I use any utility like, mpg321, cd-info. It does not work. It
outputs a blank string.
I used system(), passthru() with both "2&>1" and "2>1". But no out put.
All the time, its blank.
Even I used a shell script "run.sh"
run.sh contents:
=====================================
#!/bin/sh
sh COMMAND 1> COMMAND.OUT 2&>1
cat COMMAND.OUT
echo 0 > COMMAND
=====================================
I called this script by this function
function run_command($command){
$h=fopen("COMMAND","w");
fwrite($h,$command);
fclose($h);
ob_start();
passthru("./run.sh");
$ret = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $ret;
}
and by this.
function run_command($command){
$h=fopen("COMMAND","w");
fwrite($h,$command);
fclose($h);
return system("./run.sh");
}
Please help me. or show me some way.
