(PHP 4, PHP 5)
popen — Opens process file pointer
Opens a pipe to a process executed by forking the command given by command.
The command
The mode
Returns a file pointer identical to that returned by fopen(), except that it is unidirectional (may only be used for reading or writing) and must be closed with pclose(). This pointer may be used with fgets(), fgetss(), and fwrite().
If an error occurs, returns FALSE.
Example #1 popen() example
<?php
$handle = popen("/bin/ls", "r");
?>
If the command to be executed could not be found, a valid resource is returned. This may seem odd, but makes sense; it allows you to access any error message returned by the shell:
Example #2 popen() example
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/* Add redirection so we can get stderr. */
$handle = popen('/path/to/spooge 2>&1', 'r');
echo "'$handle'; " . gettype($handle) . "\n";
$read = fread($handle, 2096);
echo $read;
pclose($handle);
?>
Note: If you're looking for bi-directional support (two-way), use proc_open().
Note: 안전 모드에서 실행 명령은 safe_mode_exec_dir 안에서만 실행할 수 있습니다. 실용적인 이유로, 현재는 실행 경로에 ..을 허용하지 않습니다.
안전 모드에서 명령어는 escapeshellcmd()로 회피처리됩니다. 그러므로, echo y | echo x는 echo y \| echo x가 됩니다.
