I run a simple command wgetinshell_exec()
wget_file.php
<?php
$command = "wget http://mydomain.co/media/bigbigbig.wav";
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;
?>
According to http://www.php.net/shell_exec I can expect an exit: "Exit from the executed command or NULL if an error occurs, or the command does not display the result."
If I run wget_file.php from the command line, I will see the display of wget results. However, if I run it from a browser, there will be no result. (but the file does load successfully)
I plan to execute wget_file.php by calling through cUrl, passing the url + path. But it would be nice to get a response from shell_exec()after completion.
Does anyone know if I just missed something to get the result (works in the browser)?
