| Hello all. I'm beginner (started learning it 2-3 days ago) in PHP so here is my problem.
I want to exec linux command with php script using argument which is posted to the php script from html. So here is the code:
==========================================
index.html

| so what I can realize is the php can not execute "ip addr" or...???
|

| could be that exec is disabled on the server...
|

| It is a dedicated server, everything is by default, nothing is changed.

| How to check if it is disabled or not?
|

| phpinfo(), or check the php.ini
try shell_exec at the place of exec maybe the output isn't coming because of exec

| Tried and still the same.
What or where should I look in ini.php to see if exec is enabled or not?

| If you posted more about what you were trying to do, you'd get more help I'm sure. What,exactly is this form trying to do?

| Hi,
In my own experiences, "Cron Job" feature would be a nice choice inside your hosting control panel for this purpose.
all the best,

| Cron has nothing to do with this post.

| Yes, cron has nothing to do with this. Also, this is just an exercise, no control panel, nothing.

| I just realize this.
I have for testing this index.php file with contents in it:
$iplist";
?>
which need to give me the output of the ifconfig in the browser.
However on the browser when I open the file I can see only first 2 interfaces, but I have 8 interfaces.
The strange thing is when I run the index.php from the command line with "php index.html" it shows the correct result.
Any help..?
Thanks,

Try without the tag and see if it lists all of it. It works for me either way but I only have 6 interfaces though.

| That would be a spammer who just wants his signature to show up in more threads :p
