$result = shell_exec("/sbin/checkscript.sh jdoe");
echo "$result" ;
i am running a script through php. the script is /sbin/checkscript jdoe.
this script is supposed to output something similar to this:
################################
#### Welcome John Doe
################################
The problem is, in the webpage, php doesn't show the output of the script as cleanly as this.
it meshes them all together in one line like this:
#################################### Welcome John Doe ################################
how can i modify my php code so that whatever the script returns shows up in the webpage just as it would have from the commandline?
i have tried removing the quotes on the "results". same problem. any ideas?
