Heh...I'm a list frequenter today...
Ok, so I want to be able to do some things with php.
1) add a user to the .htpasswd file
I know I can use exec() to run commands on the server. The problem here is
that when I do "htpasswd .htpasswd username" I get prompted for passwords
twice. How the heck can I do that with php? Will this work (I just thought
of this right now...):
exec("htpasswd& .htpasswd username");
exec("password");
exec("password");
If this works, that would be great. I would assume that after this, the
program stops and I don't have something running in the background.
2&3)edit the .htgroup and .htaccess files
I have no idea how to do this at all whatsoever. I don't want the person
running this script to have to see or touch the file at all, but I'm
thinking that I'm going to have to, like, read the file into a textarea and
make the user edit it and then save it again. That's going to be a pain in
the butt when the user is office personnel that doesn't know this stuff from
french.
Throughtout this all, I don't want any output. I just want the scripts to
run and then redirect back to the page it was submitted from. Whew...any
ideas? I'm not going to have to learn perl just for this am I? ;^)
Thanks a bunch
Jason
