php exec，passthru函数在主机上禁用时工作

Question

My site is php based and the host disabled exec() and passthru() and system(). I have a script that needs these functions. Is there any work arounds?

The commands my script to run is simple mysqldump to backup my database. If there's no work arounds to use those functions. Is there another way to do the backup without the need to use them ?

Answer 1

I think your host does not disabled exec() without a reason. If you find a way to do it, they'll likely do their best to close it, and/or close your account.
