That's a good idea!

Well how about this? (posted in another message)

$output = explode("\n",chop(`$command`));

That is working great and it's only one line. The problem is that I have
no idea WHY it works and what the ` characters do.

Can you fill me in?

`$command` means start up a shell, run $command in that shell, and retrieve the output of the command into a string.
