Redirecting output w/ system() calls

[webhappy]

Hi,

Is there a way to capture ALL output from a program?
Usually, it seems that the execution functions only capture standard output.

I've tried to output standard error like this:
system('"\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\cl" 2>&1')

Still, PHP can't see the output.

BTW, this is the command-line compiler to visual studio. I'm trying to use PHP to make a test-driver, to compile and then run programs.

If you just want to capture the output of the program you are running try this:
$var = \path\program;
Those are backticks (same key as the tilda) not single quotes and will put the output from the call into var.

All system-exec functions only grab standard out it seems.

I can use the 2>&1 to redirect standard error to standard out too. But it seems the cl executable must be outputting some other way.

OH well, I figured out how to use gcc instead and it's working! Thanks.
