I recently got my laptop with Apache setup on my university’s Ethernet connection. Now I can connect to my computer from anywhere as long as I have either the IP address or host name (which I can choose). Now I want to create a Web-based command prompt that will let me run commands on my laptop from any device.
One problem is that I can’t run the “cd” command. I have my PHP script setup so it can run a series of commands delimited by a newline character. So I run “cd ../” and then “pwd” but it’s still in the root directory of my Web app. How do I fix this?
I think you have to change the directory of the current process/script. You do this with
chdir. Then you can runshell_exec.I assume you realize the severe security concerns your solution creates…
