[PHP] Re: `pwd` - what does this mean?

2001-08-15 Thread Scott Mebberson

I typed it on my server (SunOS 5.7) and it said, it returns the current
working directory.

So this is a unix command executed from PHP?

Is there any other useful unix commands which can be executed from PHP? Does
anybody have a list?

 I actually know what it means. Well, I think it means the current

 Anyway... what exactly is it and where can I find some more information
 about it? I couldn't find much on php.net - also, is there any other
 ones(whatever it is) like this?

 Thanks.

 Scott.

Well there's the Read Manual command, rm :-) 

But seriously, you can execute _any_ operating system command (that the 
webserver user has rights to) with exec(), system() or backticks.
