Subject: [PHP] Execing problems


Hi all,

I have a seperate perl script that I need to start running from a php
script. The script does a fork into the backgroup and exits.

when i do an

exec(funky script stuff here);

The page just hangs trying to load again, apparently after I call the
exec.

I've also tried 

exec(script stuff ) 

but it does the same thing.

Any ideas anybody ?

Jason

I'll give it a go, i hadn't tried that

Although I thought system would return the output. I was using exec
because it didn't (oops I think I forgot to mention that.)
