Using bash shell script inside php
 
Hi,

Can anyone tell how do i use bash shell scripts inside php.
I am just trying to call a simple cp command using php. Its not doing anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

"system()" or "eval" should do the trick.

Be very careful executing system commands from a PHP-based web page - it could be a HUGE security risk!!!

Copying and Renaming files can be done directly through PHP

Code:
<?php
  $source = "/path/to/filea";
  $destination = "/path/to/new/filea";

  if( copy($source, $destination) )
    { mesg = "Copied $source to $destination<br/>"; }
  else
    { mesg = "Failed to copy $source to $destination<br/>";}
?>
<html><head><title>Testing...</title></head>
  <body>
  <?php echo($mesg); ?>
  </body>
</html>
To rename use the command rename in place of copy
