Re: trying to use EXEC with Zend

what you are seeing appears to be running on the host the web server is on.
Assuming the host is IBM i, try using "ls -la" or "pwd" as the EXEC command.

I want my PHP script to run a DOS command on the PC whose browser opened
the script, It looks like EXEC should do this, but no matter what
command I use - including easy stuff like DIR or IPCONFIG - I get a "file
not found" message. For example, if the script contains

$test= exec('dir 2>&1', $output);
echo $test;
echo '<BR>';
var_dump($output);

I get

sh: dir: not found.
array(1) { [0]=> string(20) "sh: dir: not found." }


Any ideas?
