Send Command Lines from PHP Interface Face?

[meth8200]

Hi, could somebody please help me with this query please? I know you can use php cli, but can you send command lines from a php web interface?

Currently i can only edit values in a application from command line, i would like to design some sort of web interface to be able to do the exact thing.

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!!

Yes you can use the backtick operater.
e.g.

PHP: Select all

$list = `ls`; 

That should list the files in the current directory.
There also commands such as exec() and system() to use. Just google them

Be sure to use the backtick ` not the inverted comma (or whatever you want to call this: ').

echo exec('load.bat');
