Please Help php system call

[razymon]

I have a linux machine at home and want to add users using a php script.
The syntax I'm using is

system('/usr/sbin/useradd-s /bin/false $user >/dev/null');
system('/usr/bin/autopasswd $user $password >/dev/null');

$user and $password are input by the browser and are unique

The problem is it doesn't add the user to my linux box. Does anyone have any suggestions

Can some please help me here

Thankx and regards

Try using double quotes around the command string instead of single quotes. With single quotes the variables will not be dereferenced into their respective values.

Thanks for your reply
Have tried double quotes and still no joy with this syntax syntax I'm using
system("/usr/sbin/useradd-s /bin/false $user >/dev/null");
system("/usr/bin/autopasswd $user $password >/dev/null");

I'm really stuck on this one, if I use native linux using the same command but say 'Razymon' 'password' etc it works ok. I wonder if the system function needs something else.

Any more advice please

Thankx
