    execute a shell command PHP Script

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    I am new here, and I am a bit stuck with doing something unusual.

     

    I want to create a script that can turn on a program (dynamips and dynagen). So far, I have tried 'exec' and 'shell_exec'. Soon I realized that apache runs the commands as 'www-data' user (apache2 in ubuntu) and it's very limited on what you can execute.

     

    Is there any way to do that at all? What would be the best practice? I am not concerned about security as this is not a production environment...

     

    Thanks
