Re: [PHP] shell_exec problem with bsdtar

Any ideas what I've got wrong? OK - had a sleep on it, and started again fresh. The bottom line is that WHAT shell_exec returns is rather variable. There is a comment about returning windows errors on the manual page, but in fact 2 may not JUST contain errors, it also has the normal return from some programs. So 2 'output' may be generally required to find out what has been returned, if the shell_exec return is NULL. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm basically doing the same as you are: shell_exec(sendfax $OPTIONS -d $DESTINATION $FILE); not work I can see in my httpd file that linux only gets the command 'sendfax' and not the parameters '-n -d .'. What httpd file? You mean the log? What exactly do you see?
