Check if shell_exec is successful

[themistral]

Hi guys,

 

I'm running the following code:

$result = shell_exec("su user; scp /path/to/file/text.txt  user@domain:/path/to/file/text.txt");

 

Now, the file get's transferred correctly.

However, I need to put in place a check to check if the transfer was successful.

 

$result seems to return the same whether the transfer was successful or not.

 

I want to send an email to state whether the file transfer was successful so what do I need to do to check this?

 

Thanks!

Use exec instead and check and give it a $return_var argument.
