Need Suggestion Please!

[youngsei]

The following is the scope of what I want to do. I am trying to enable a button click on the web page and it does a system call. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to resolve this?

I think I am looking at something like onclick="<?php exec( "/sbin/ifconfig -a" ); ?>

The above won't work because when the page is brought up, onclick is an empty field.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach? Please help!

OnClick is a general javascript function, you may want to just setup another if statement....

<input type="submit" name="submitButton">

<?
if($submitButton) {
exec( "/sbin/ifconfig -a" );
}
