Hello,
I am having some serious problems executing a command on my redhat linux
machine using exec, shell_exec, or any variants thereof.
I have a string saved into a variable like:
$mystring = "/usr/local/bin/lmc -e add /music/whatever.mp3";
Then I try to execute w/ something like:
$last_line = exec($mystring) ;
echo "{$last_lin e}";
This does absolutely nothing but when I run the same thing from the
command line it works fine. I also have made sure that it is not running
in safety_mode. The current user is nobody, but the program is accessable
to everyone. Any thoughts or places where I need ot provide more info?
Any suggestions to troubleshoot?
Brian
PS: this is driving me bonkers. 3 2680
try system() maybe?

I've tried w/ no success: system(), passthru(), fpassthru(), exec(), and
shell_exec().
Interestingly though I can't get any response from any of these commands.
Even when I execute a system command w/ one of the above funtions which
should return an error I receive nothin on a variable like $temp where the
code is:
$temp = exec("Code that will produce an error");
Any other thoughts
Thanks!

What return code are you getting? (See the third parameter to exec()
in the manual).

I have a script used to find and run Java on a Windows system. It worked

I have to do it this way as both the TCL script and the PHP script run

Is there a way I can do this so that the TCL script can call the PHP

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
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,...
