ShellExec & Linux Pathing

[ZachMEdwards]

I am using shared hosting at HostGator. I am trying to execute flare (a command line actionscript decompiler) via PHP.

 

According to phpinfo() my System is Linux gator1854.hostgator.com 3.2.13 #4 SMP Thu Mar 29 19:22:42 CDT 2012 x86_64

 

In my public_html, I have a folder named "zachafer" and inside that folder, I have a folder named "flare".

 

Inside the flare folder, I have the flare command line version, named "flare" and a file named movie.swf.

 

The flare website says that I need to run "./flare somepath/somename.swf"

Here is my code:

<?PHP

error_reporting(-1);

$swf = 'movie';

chdir("/home/infamous/public_html/zachafer/flare");
$cmd = "./flare $swf.swf";
shell_exec($cmd);

echo "Cmd: $cmd\n";
echo "File: ".file_get_contents("$swf.flr");

?>

 

Thank you.

And your question / problem is?

[ZachMEdwards]

The shell_exec line is not executing "flare". I believe there is something wrong with the path

How do you know it's not executing? Your not checking anywhere to see if it executed.

How can I check?
