Executing shell command?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ok I am having problems with a command I would like to execute through PHP.

I have tried simple backtick operators on the command, passthru, exec, system all with the same results of 0 return code.

Here is an example of the command I am attempting to execute if someone could provide me with some insight, examples etc.

/usr/bin/dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 128 -n USER key (which works from a terminal)

Here is my php code (I am changing into a writable directory which works fine):
chdir( $defined['keys'] );
$cmd = $defined['dnssectool'] . " -a " . $algorithm . " -b " . $key_bit . " -n USER " . $key_name;
echo $cmd . "<br>";
system( '$cmd', $ret );
chdir( $defined['virpath'] );
