Exec and returning results

[Anon]

Hello,
I am using exec and other system connands to run a c program. It executes the command, but it doesnt return the vaule. I tested this with "ls -l" and it returns the dir listing. My program returns either a 1 or a 0 that is it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you read the manual pages on exec(), passthru(), system, and the backtick operator?
