shell script and php

[flenters]

I have a small problem and i am not to sure what i am doing wrong, I have a
Small shell script that checks the connected peers in asterisk for e.g

#!/bin/sh
asterisk –rx “iax2 show peers”

Then the code I use in my php is very simple passthru command.

<?
passthru (“./peers.sh”)
?>

Or I have tried

<?
passthru (“/var/www/peers.sh”)
?>

This however also does not work…. Not to sure what I can try
I can run the script successfully from the CLI … any suggestions ?

Did the php script throw you an error?

 

[flenters]

nope no error just wont display anything ...

Are you running this PHP script from a webserver? If yes check what user the webserver is running as and if they have a shell defined and sufficient permissions.

Do not think pasthru is the right command.

What does exec() do for you? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

i have tried exec() and system() such a small issue bleh ....

try change

#!/bin/sh
asterisk –rx “iax2 show peers”

to
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/asterisk –rx “iax2 show peers”
