Hi all,
Sorry if this isnt the right place to ask this. I have tried many other forums and have had no luck.
I am learning programming for Raspberry Pi. Currently, I can read the output of a pin (GPIO) on the circuit board as such:
<?php
exec ( "gpio read 7", $status );
print_r ( $status );
?>
That works fine - it prints the status to the screen.
However, if I put this in an 'if' statement, eg:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['trigger']) && $_GET['trigger'] == 1) {
exec ( "gpio read 7", $status );
print_r ( $status );
exec ( "gpio write 7 1" );
}
?>
It no longer works.
I know the if statement is correct as exec ( "gpio write 7 1" ); produces results.
Would anyone know what I have done wrong here or why I would not be able to read the status?
Many thanks in advance
