[PHP] storing the passthru() output as an array

[Michael P. Carel]

Hi again,

Have another problem here I need to get the output of this syntax

$ps = (passthru(ps -ef));

and store it in an array line by line, I specifically want to get the
Columns of the PID for this command and store it in a selection box .

Any Idea how, thanks in advance.

You can use output buffering to grab the output and explode to put the
lines in an array.

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php

ob_start();
passthru(ps -ef);
$ps = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$lines = explode(\n,$ps);

I don't know if this is the easiest way but a solution

Pipe ps -ef to a file read the file into an array and do with it what
you will.

EG

$filename = /tmp/psefdump.txt;
exec(ps -ef  $filename);

$lines = file($filename);

foreach ( $lines as $var ) {
// Yadda Yadda
}

Hope this helps...

Turn on output buffering, grab the output of your script, then turn it off.
(ob_start, ob_get_contents, ob_end_clean)

But that's a hack; you're better off using shell_exec instead of passthru
