Antivirus scan during uploading a file

[khhalid]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to do an anti virus scan on the files I am uploading in PHP application and return virus found or not.

if found then delete the file else load scanned file into "Scanned" folder.

 

I am trying exec() function but not sure how to pass data file path to exec() function.

I am using:

<?php

$tmp = exec("C:\Program Files\McAfee\VirusScan Enterprise\scan32.exe  C:\48 SchemeTemplate.xls", $results);

echo "Result: " . $results;

?>

Can someone please help me.

Many thanks for your time,

ND

I've never used McAfee on the command line, but if you look it up. I'm pretty sure you need to pass in the file name of what you're scanning, and surrounded in quotes if it contains spaces in the directory/filename.

 

Also, are you aware if scan32.exe will produce any output?

csscan.exe is thecommand line application. I have ran in cmd and the summary section is what I am after (see attachment).

 

Here are the codes I am using:

<?php

echo "start scanning...";

$return = array();

$tmp = exec("C:\Program Files\McAfee\VirusScan Enterprise\csscan.exe  /c C:\48SchemeTemplate.xls", $return);

 

foreach( $return as $line )

{

    echo $line,"\n\n";

}

echo "scanning done.";

?>

Ah, I can't believe I didn't notice!

 

In your exec. You have backslashes, these need to be escaped like so:

 

 <?php
echo "start scanning...";
$return = array();
$tmp = exec("C:\\Program Files\\McAfee\\VirusScan Enterprise\\csscan.exe  /c C:\\48SchemeTemplate.xls", $return); // Double backslash is needed to escape them

foreach( $return as $line )
{
    echo $line,"\n\n";
}
echo "scanning done.";
?>
