Hello
I am a astudent and my domain area is C++ I am and new
to PHP and all other scripting language. Couldnt hire
a PHP programmer coz of lack of funds :)
The program I wrote was just to learn how to execute a
binary from PHP. My actuall program takes a Name as
the first parameter and generates a registration code
for my software. I wanted a web based interface
wherein a user gives a Name and I can generate a Reg
Code for them and show it as output.
Therefore I do something like this -
./myapp "Karam"
output
a3fdgt567vcx75
Thats it. It only outputs the regcode and nothing
else. This is using some algorithm which is not
possible in PHP so cant use PHP out here :)
I have set the error reporting to full but nothing
happens. The PHP page loads up blank.
Ideally I should be doing something like this -
exec ( "myapp \"Karam\"");
and it should output the regcode?
I dont have any idea about safe mode. My PHP is loaded
up in my Host's server. Can I change the settings? If
yes then what should I do?
Thanks for your help.
