php3-list | 199908

[PHP3] Newbie (again!) From: Alvin B. Marcelo (marcelo <email protected>)
Date: 08/20/99

Forgive this newbie question:

I'd like to make a system call from inside PHP. I created a java class
(viewsource.class) that grabs text from an external webpage.

In my shell, it works:

java viewsource URL (and it outputs the html code of the URL)

Problem:

How do I embed this inside PHP so I can output out the code I've grabbed
into my new php3 file?

I've tried these:

exec ("java viewsource URL");

and

passthru ("java viewsource URL");

...no error is reported ("document: Done") but nothing appears...

I've tried this also:

exec("java viewsource URL > source.txt");
require ("source.txt");

Still nothing..

Obviously, I don't know a lot....all I know is that there is a deadline!

Thanks guys!
