Ok I've found one solution so far* and it's doing what I want. But I'm
not sure exactly what it's doing so I'd like to know if it's "dangerous"
or not.
Here is my code:
$command = "file -i ".$pictureDir."1"."_".$id."-*.gif"; // testing
$output = `$command`;
$outputArr = explode("\n",$command_output);
print_r($outputArr);
If you'll notice line #2 is "$output = `$command`;". It has those funny
quote characters, the button next to the 1.
What is that and why does it work??
Thanks,
Chris.
