Re: [PHP] passthru environment variables
OK, I finally found it. Someone else here recommended setenv -- it's actually putenv. putenv was *not* found through any search I could make on the PHP Web site involving the word environment and so on, I found it through Google. And it's apparently documented under "PHP Options and Information" where I wouldn't have thought to look for it for a thousand years. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was using the command "passthru", which is supposed to pass the *output* of an external program through to standard out. In other words, let's say I wanted people to be able to see how long my system was up, I could have a PHP program display other information and then call the Linux command "uptime" and pass the result to the user's browser. For the application that I'm working on, I need to use "passthru" (or possibly "system") rather than having a line or two of output passed back to the PHP program because the external program I'm using will produce up to hundreds of pages of output. >Anything defined in PHP (inluding variables and > functions) in the file passed through will not be available to the calling > program. I want the variables in the PHP program to be available to the external program through the shell environment of the forked external program. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] passthru environment variables
fpassthru doesn't include the code in your php code. In just dumps the file to output as it runs. Anything defined in PHP (inluding variables and functions) in the file passed through will not be available to the calling program.
