[PHP] Running a Shell Script in PHP HELP! From: Armando Cerna (armando <email protected>)
Date: 09/30/01

I have a shell script that I am executing like this $files = `shellscript`;
but if I do an if ($files) it doesn't read $files as existing. The contents
of the shell script is a smbclient line that copies a bunch of DBF files from
another machine. Anyone have any idea? Below is a little snipit of my code

 $files = `updatemp`;

  if ($files) {
    print "$files<br>";
    print "I am god";

  } else {
    print "$files";
    print "It's ok you'll get it working. =)";
  }

The contents of the updatemp file is as follows

smbclient //machine/c -I 192.168.0.4 -U armando%secret -D a1 -c 'lcd /tmp/dbf
; prompt ; mget *.dbf ; quit'

Thanks in advance,
Armando
