使用PHP脚本运行shell命令

Question

I'm creating an app using CodeIgniter, but I'm unable to run Linux commands using my PHP script.

How do I run terminal commands?

I've tried shell_exec() and exec(), but both don't work while using CI.

That depends on your server configuration if the functions are disabled, you need to enable them in your php.ini. Here are some alternatives:

• popen()
• or if you need an interactive way try proc_open()
• system()
