Hi all,
I need to execute a command-line program through PHP.
I have a form which includes a textarea, where the user writes his data.
These data will be used as input for the command-line program.
Will I go something like:
$data = $_GET['info'];
Which function shall I use? System, exec, shell_exec, passthru?
I can't choose which one is the correct.
The programm running in the command-line is an biological algorithm which is complicated, and, of course not written by me, so I could interfere with the code.
It is an .exe program, called hmmpfam, so in the command line, I write:
hmmpfam [file in hard disk] [data submitted]
and the algorithm searches the [file in hard disk] for patterns that match the [data submitted].
So, in the function that will be used, the data supplied by the user will be passed as my second argument (the 1st argument is a file in my hard disk).
And, lastly, do I need to change any global settings for PHP in order to perform such actions, ie running scripts via PHP programs???
Do you think it would help if I did anything with Perl? A kind of CGI-script??? I read tha PHP's functions are not wise to use in those cases...
Thanx a lot!

I'm calling a command from within a python script and I need to be

I can do one or other of these, but I can't find any way to do them
both at the same time.
So far, I've got the following options:

Hi. I'm writing a command shell that reads commands from standard input.
At this point I have the command in a std::string. Now I want to execute
this command in the shell. From the Borland newsgroups I learned that there
is a function in stdlib.h called system.
int system(const char *command);
First question, is the system command ANSI compliant. Because I include
<cstdlib> and write std::system(command.c_str()); it looks like an...

I'm a teacher using MS Access on an RMConnect 2.4 network. On some
workstations both I and my students sometimes get an error message
when attempting to insert a command button on a form which reads
"Invalid
use of null". The remainder of the options in the Command Button
Wizard are then unavailable and
the button wil not work.
The only solution is to log on to a different workstation.
Any ideas?

I am implementing the command pattern in VB.NET, where the commands have
been serialised. That is, I have several classes that all inherit from my
base Command class, that implements ICommand (standard stuff). The commands,
however, are deserialised at runtime, so the idea of passing a receiver in
the constructor does not work in this case.
In addition, I am implementing the MacroCommand extension, and each command
in a macro could...

Examples - the Command Pattern.
Since you all enjoyed the Visitor Pattern so much yesterday, today I
have the Command Pattern for you. This one is pretty straight
forward. In the Command Pattern an object encapsulates everything
needed to execute a method in another object.

A couple of easy questions here hopefully. I've been working on two
different database projects which make use of multiple
forms.
1. Where's the best/recommended placement for command buttons for things
like delete, save, edit, cancel buttons - in the footer, or on the form
detail section?
2. If in the footer, how do you add them to the tab order?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
