% Well it looks like I have limited options.
Yep. Hey, you could always host with me ;-)
%
% I'm guessing that the web host will let me have limited rights to the
% server as it is - probably only basic FTP and other limited DB rights -
% I do hve some control using phpmyadmin to manipulate data.
OK.
If I were you I'd just try a quick test. Whip up a php page that says
<?php
exec("du -h -d 1",$results,$exit) or die("Could not run du\n") ;
print "space is:<br>\n<pre>\n" ;
print_r($results) ;
print "</pre><br>\n" ;
print "exit code was '$exit'<br>\n" ;
?>
and see what you get. If it works, whip up another about like
<?php
$stamp = date("Y-m-d") ;
exec("mysqldump -uUSER -pPASS DATABASE",$results,$exit)
or die("Could not run mysqldump\n") ;
print "results are:<br>\n<pre>\n" . print_r($results)
. "</pre><br>\n" ;
print "exit code was '$exit'<br>\n" ;
?>
with USER, PASS, and DATABASE set accordingly (and you should check the
mysqldump grammar; this is all right off the top of my head) and if it
doesn't try any of system, `` or popen.
%
% I'll almost bet that they won't let me run a task from the server.
% What about running a script from an exe ?
What script, what exe, and what machine?
%
% thanks
Sure thing!
