Re: [PHP] trouble using system() with lynx outputting to file From: Thomas E. Ruth (truth <email protected>)

When I used lynx to access a web page via an exec call, I had to do it
like this:

exec("TMPDIR=/tmp /usr/bin/lynx --dump 'http://www.blah.com'");

Try it with that TMPDIR variable and see if it works.
