Send cmds from webpage to linux box

[hlstriker]

Hi, can someone please tell me how I can send commands from a web page into my linux box?

 

Example: There is a button on the web page that says 'Send'. When this button it pressed it will send the command '/home/user/myscript' which will run the myscript script.

U can use exec(), system(), passthru() or by using backtick `.

 

$command = 'ls www';
exec($command, $output);
foreach($output as $value){
   echo $value . "<br />";
}

Ok thanks, but is it possible to do this remotely? My web server is on a different computer then the computer I want to run the commands on.

you can run the script from anywhere, as long as the functions arent disabled and you arent in safe mode.

Those commands will run only on your web server. I guess theres no way of executing remote commands. If with remote u mean executing commands from your pc to the webserver then yes as long as these commands are not in disable_functions and safe_mode is off.

You might want to take a look at the ssh extension.
