hi there,

i want something really simple, basically i want to be able to click a button and execute a script, this script will then make a directory.

can someone tell me how to do that?

hi there,
why bash? here is the php code...

PHP Code:



<?php
mkdir("/path/to/my/dir", 0700);
?>

you can easily assign a button to the function in html.

hi there,
afaik you don't need the "echo" part.

PHP Code:



<? 
exec('mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom &'); 
?>

this should work.
