The clients will probably not even understand what "command line" means, I was thinking of doing something like this: ask the client to enter the path to php on his server, if he does not know the path then to download the script get_php_path.php from my site that would contain <?php echo "The path to php on your server is: ".$_SERVER["include_path"]; ?> then they would then enter that value....but is $_SERVER["include_path"]; the correct thing to use? > [/snip] > .... so, does the format need to be changed in some > way to add it to my .htaccess file or is it simply not allowed in the htaccess file? > [/snip] > What are the permissions of the directory? The permissions are 755...but thanks for the tip, for some reason it didnt strike me that it might be a permissions issue.., will check other permissions and get back to you/the list if it still does not work. The thing is, its not actually "writing" anything there...I just want it to call the php script to process the data there.. > [snip] > 3. > [/snip] > I have actually used PHP to run scripts from the command line like this > before the CLI version came out. As long as the path is correct you > shouldn't have a problem. Thats a relief, thanks!
