johnsiilver Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.I have a webbased php script that exec()'s some php commandline scripts. These scripts log onto various machines and do work, and I would like to avoid passing the password on the commandline, which could be seen by someone doing a 'ps -ef'. I've been trying to set an $_env[], $_session[], or a $global[] variable and have it read by the commandline script, but no luck. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

printf Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 In Apache you can use, the [b]SetEnv[/b] directive, other servers also support it, but in different ways. You can also set it via htaccess, so as to restrict who can access that environment variable! You can't set a $_ENV['var'] in PHP and expect it to be available from other scripts, it doesn't work that way. PHP can only write to the $_ENV array in it's local context, only the server has global scope! Unless you use the prepend file option within PHP, via htaccess, per directory option!me!
