[PHP] Newbie: Reading unix directory information from PHP
Hi, I'm just starting to learn PHP. I couldn't find how to execute unix command and read the result. Basically, I just want to execute ls -lrt and read and display the output. This may be very simple question, but for some reason, I couldn't find any info on executing unix command from PHP.

Maybe opendir() and readdir() would work for you? opendir(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php readdir(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php Jason Soza - Original Message - From: Paul Oh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 3:03 pm Subject: [PHP] Newbie: Reading unix directory information from PHP Hi, I'm just starting to learn PHP.

Hi Paul,
this should help you out
?php
$LastLine = exec(ls -lrt, $AllOutput, $ReturnValue);

print(All Output:BR\n);
for ($index = 0; $index count($AllOutput); $index++)
{

RE: [PHP] Newbie: Reading unix directory information from PHP
on this you may want to have a look in the manual for exec(), the command I
used in my example, or system() they both let you run applications on your
server such as 'ls' and the like.
