trq Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Your script is riddled with syntax errors. I'd start by fixing those. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/267801-shell_exec/#findComment-1373811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakesmoore Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 What is wrong with the code? any help please? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/267801-shell_exec/#findComment-1373817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 This line: $output = shell_exec('expiry '$_POST['domains']''); will produce an error. Do you have error reporting enabled? You should always when developing. On top of that, that one line of code opens a pretty large security hole.
