proc_open() reading the error or return

[cristalmolix]

Hello Guys

 

I have a script in development to execute a .bat file on windows, the bat file calls ssh [email protected] test.dat which creates a file on the server, however shell access is not allowed on the server and the command line will output please contact admin to get shell access, i need to output this to the browser, my code so far is as follows.

 

I understand how pipes work but need some guidance from someone whos done this before or similar.

 

currently the browser outputs process returned 0 when i close the command line that it opens, i need the command line to close itself obviously and take any output from it. and also i need to give it the password, i know this is done through the pip but its kinda tricky.

 

C:\test.bat

ssh [email protected] test.dat

 

zend framework controller

public function indexAction()
    {
        $descriptorspec = array(
           0 => array("pipe", "r"),  // stdin is a pipe that the child will read from
           1 => array("pipe", "w"),  // stdout is a pipe that the child will write to
           2 => array("file", "/error-output.txt", "a") // stderr is a file to write to
        );

        $cwd = '/tmp';
        $env = array('some_option' => 'aeiou');

        $process = proc_open('start c:\test.bat', $descriptorspec, $pipes);
        //sleep(1);

        if (is_resource($process)) {
            // $pipes now looks like this:
            // 0 => writeable handle connected to child stdin
            // 1 => readable handle connected to child stdout
            // Any error output will be appended to /tmp/error-output.txt

            fwrite($pipes[0], '<?php print_r($_ENV); ?>');
            fclose($pipes[0]);

            echo stream_get_contents($pipes[1]);
            fclose($pipes[1]);

            // It is important that you close any pipes before calling
            // proc_close in order to avoid a deadlock
            $return_value = proc_close($process);

            echo "command returned $return_value\n";
        }
        exit;

    }

 

thanks for any help
