help with system()

[irwa82]

Hi,

I have a C program that displays a registration number to the screen.

Using the php system command or similar command I would like to store the value to a variable without displaying the value to the screen.

I have tried the following but it still displays the output to the screen. Any Ideas?

$actcode = system("/home/tbweb_new/public_html/actcode");

Hi,

I worked it out

$actcode = exec("command");

This won't display the output and stores the value into the variable.

Kind Regards,
Anthony Irwin
