system commands/ save results
Hi all!
I call a system program through PHP, using the system commands provided by PHP (like system, exec etc)
Q1: Is there a way (I think using the return values) to make sure that the program has run? I mean, not take the data from the program if the program has encountered any kind of internal error and didn't ran correctly.
Q2: How can I pass the data that I take from the program to a string, in order to handle them and present them to the user the way I want?
The command I use is something like:
$command = shell_exec ('program_name argum1 argum2');
argum1 and argum2 are arguments that I feed the program with.
Will the '> tmp_file' store the data I take as result from the program into the tmp_file or must I use something else?
Thanx

try using exec()
<?phpexec(\"prog arg1 arg2\", $output, $err);
if (!$err) {
echo implode(\"\n\", $output);
}
?>
