They all *return* the last line, but exec (and some others) accept an array
they can "fill up" with the data you want.

\n";
}
if ($error){
echo "OS Error $error.  Usually path/permissions.";
}
?>

[PHP] Help With passthru, system, exec

[Pete Lavetsky]

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to write something to ping a URL on the system level, and
keep the output in an array.  I've been trying to work with system, exec,
and passthru, but it looks as though they all return only the last line of
the output.  How would I put the whole output into the array?  A different
function, or possible it was with backtics, though I couldn't find any
examples that did this.  Any help would be appreciated.

if($IP)
{
   $systemstring=escapeshellcmd("ping $IP -c 1");
   $array = passthru("$systemstring",$returnvalue);
   echo $array;  -->  This outputs only the last line
}

Thanks,
Pete
