apachectl configtest

[tuurlijk]

Hey,

I would like to check the output of the command:
apachectl configtest (which is executable by anybody).

I would like to check if its output contains 'Syntax OK' with a regex.

I tried passthrough, and backticks but I don't get any response.

system will not do as it only returns the last line which is a blank newline afaik.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Tuurlijk

Found in the comments section for shell_exec in the online php manual.

add '2>&1' to the end of your shell command to have STDERR returned as well as STDOUT.

$shell_return = shell_exec($shell_command." 2>&1");

Thanks Flame!
