Execute c program

[osilekpl]

Guys I need help and quick if possible, I'm working on little php program, that needs to execute c program that is on the server.
when I run it on command line ex: loginprogram ENTER
then type in: username ENTER
Pass: password ENTER
It will tell me if login is OK or Failed.

What i need to do in PHP to make that work

is it something like this Ex: $status = exec("/usr/bin/loginprogram username password");

It is not working please help.

Thanks Guys

Dunno how your program reports success or failure, or what you mean by "not working", but have you tried shell_exec()?

If login is succesfull then it will send back OK if not then Failed.

I can't use that function b/c I'm running PHP3.

Please help if you can.
Thanks
