How I've done it in the past is to dynamically build the command string and then pass it through the exec function like so:
$cmdStr = "pure-pw useradd joeblow -u ftpuser -d /home/joeblow"; exec($cmdStr); The exec call won't display output but I believe if you use system($cmdStr) it will. I don't think this method will work if the useradd program prompts for a password. The exec and system calls just execute the command and exit.
