I have PHP's safe mode enabled, can't use backticks.
And no I can't disable it, I'm hosting a few hundred sites =)
I looked up "return_var" in the manual and got nothing, had a read of
return() but don't quite understand how that would benefit what's happening.
Could you please give an example?
Thanks!
Liam

That's not what I meant by 'return_var', check the manual.

I prefer something simpler than exec(), try:
$output = `tail -n $len /www/hosting/domains/lanolot/logs/$open`;
echo $output;
