Jason, I'm only subscribed to digest and found your reply in archives and couldnt figure out how to reply :{
Anyway, right now I'm just trying to get something to work. The c exe is as follows: ****************************** #include <stdio.h> #define NAME "Mignon" int main(void) { int q; q = 5; printf("Hello, %s,%d \n", NAME,q); return 0; } ********************************* I'm trying to return the "Hello, Mignon, 5" which is what's outputted on the command line. After I get this to work, I'll be needing it to execute a complex function in c, and bring variables back to my php shopping cart. Here's my test.php: <? error_reporting (E_ALL); error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE); echo "Here it comes:"; /*$var1 = exec(a.out); echo $var1;//produces:Here it comes: //tried "a.out"'a.out'"./a.out"'./a.out' //./a.out */ //******************************************* /*$var = passthru(a.out, $ret); echo $var;//produces:(nothing) echo $ret;//produces: 127 */ //********************************** /*$var2 = system(a.out); echo $var2; //produces:(nothing) */ //****************************** /*$var6 = "./a.out"; $var7 = exec($var6, $var_array[], $ret_var); echo $var7;//produces:(nothing) echo $var_array[];//produces:Array echo $ret_var;//produces:127 echo $var6;//produces:(nothing) */ //******************************************* /*$var3 = exec(`/var/www/htdocs/vertex_test/a.out`, $var_array[], $ret_var); echo $var3;//produces:Here it comes echo $ret_var; echo $var_array[0]; */ //**************************************** passthru("/var/www/htdocs/vertex_test/a.out", $res); echo $res; ?> -- Mignon Hunter Web Master and Developer Toshiba International 713.466.0277 x 3461 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
