I'm trying to run a shell_exec query by pressing a button.
But it does not seem to execute anything. I checked php.ini and it isn't disabled. I'm trying to execute a php file in a different directory
/var/www/html/root/download_handler.php. It doesn't seem to work.
Here's my code. I hope anyone knows what i can do to fix this?
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === "POST") {
if (isset($_POST['download'])) {
$site = $_POST['site'];
$wait = $_POST['wait'];
$folder = $_POST['folder'];
$strpos = strpos($site, "http://");
if (empty($site) || empty($wait) || empty($folder)) {
$error = Error::display("Input fields left empty", "alert");
} else {
if ($strpos === false) {
$error = Error::display("Incorrect URL Format. Example: http://example.com/", "alert");
} else {
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$error = Error::display($site . $wait . $folder . $username, "success");
shell_exec("screen php /var/www/html/download_handler.php download $site $folder $wait $username");
}
}
}
}
?>
