If $arg is, what you would enter in the command line, you need to pass it to prog's stdin. You could use `echo "$arg" | /path/prog` for example. If $arg is more that just a single line w/o special characters, you should probably use popen for more control (is it popen in php?...) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
