Wow Ken, thanks very very much. mkdir /root/$1 worked like a charm. And I understand the need for the space. - aurf On Jun 27, 2009, at 6:03 PM, Ken Robinson wrote:

You have a few problems:

1) your PHP needs a space in the command $username = 'foo'; Exec('/root/test.sh ' . $username);

2) your shell script you need Echo $1

Hi,

Please excuse this seemingly retarded mail.

While fun, PHP is more then 4 handfuls and I only have 2.

An example php script;

$username = foo; exec('/root/script.sh'.($username));

My script.sh file;

#!/bin/tcsh mkdir /root/$username

When I execute my PHP script, I get this;

sh: /root/script.shfoo: No such file or directory

I was hoping to pass the PHP var of $username to mkdir in the tcsh script and make a directory called /root/foo.

I don't understand whats going on.

Any ideas?
