using `s doesn't work quite like they do in BASH (and many other scriptlanguages) use passthru() or something instead... I can't really see why you're doing this in PHP as BASH would be much more efficient... and to some extent easier, not to mention that this isn't far off a one-liner... -- Andreas D Landmark / noXtension Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
