Question

I have a basic php script that calls system(“netstat -l”) and the reads what services are online. I got it all working exept that system() sends the whole return to the client… So my question is how do i run system() whiteout having it sending the command output to the client?

Im running this on ubuntu server.

Answer 1

You can do:

$output = shell_exec('netstat -l');

$output will now contain the output of the command.

shell_exec
