Subject: [PHP] CLI through PHP

Hi, I was wondering how I'd go about manipulating some command line
software through PHP.  For instance, I have an FTP program installed
that allows you to add users through the command line, but it's in this
format:

 

--

mailto:root@apathy;root@apathy#:  pure-pw useradd 
joedirt -d /home/jpedirt -u ftpuser

 Enter User's Password:
 Enter User's Password Again:
 User Created

mailto:root@apathy;root@apathy#:

 

--

How would I go about writing a simple PHP script that will add users for
me using the data submitted by a form?  Thanks for your help.

 
Liam

Pipes.

I've only had to do it with perl, so i have no idea
what the syntax or function calls are with PHP, but
i'm almost positive that PHP supports reading/writing
to/from pipes.

Someone else has already posted an example of a form to collect the data
and pass it to a script called adduser.php. In adduser.php you could try
the exec() function to execute the adduser/useradd command, something
like:

  exec(useradd -u $uid -g $gid -d $home_dir -s $shell -c 'comments' $user);


Hope this helps,

Andy
