 What I'm doing here is I'm trying to tell PHP to create a file by
 issuing hte UNIX command then I can use the PHP to open the file to enter
 the data.  Once I'm done with the file, I can use the UNIX to run the
 script
 in the file to communicate with the modem by executing the file.  When I'm
 done then I can open an another file to grab the data that had be received
 by the modem and do the PHP things to do something with hte data.  When
 done, then I can use the PHP to tell UNIX to delete the file and Voila!
 
 Thanks,

2001-12-14 Thread Scott Fletcher

Hi!

When I use those PHP function, 1) exec(), 2) passthru() and 3)
system(), they don't work. I suspect that I would need to enter the
Environment Variable so I did the putenv() for the PATH, BASH, etc. But
still does not work. Check file Permission and so on. (Can't use fopen() to
create a file due to permission error).

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Scott

2001-12-14 Thread Scott Fletcher

Wait a minute!  I checked the Apache Error Log and it said file access
permission do not allow the specified action.  It can use the cp command
and the original file.  But it can not create the new file as result of hte
copy command.  Why is that?  What are the way around?

Thanks,
 Scott

2001-12-14 Thread Scott Fletcher

I decided to try your suggestion and I did have a response.

The response I got is ...

-- clip --

sh[2]: drwxr-xr-x: not found.

sh[3]: drwxr-xr-x: not found.

sh[4]: -rwxrwxrwx: not found.

sh[5]: drwxr-xr-x: not found.

sh[6]: -rwxrwxrwx: not found.

sh[7]: -rw-r--r--: not found.

sh[8]: -rwxrwxrwx: not found.

-- clip --

Anyone know what it meant and what should I do?

Thanks,

Scott

Found the problem!  It's not hte file permission for those files you try to
work with.  You have to go up one directory and set the file permission of
hte folder where those files are in and Viola!  Weird?  Isn't it?
