[Resolved] passing variable to command prompt

[nadirah81]

I am trying to run a program through command prompt. My command requires me to pass variables into the command prompt in order to run the program. Is this possible?

Yes

I am trying to find examples on this but I couldn't find one.

What I need to do is to run a command and I wanted to pass variables to the command for it to run.

i need to run this:
e.g.
$work= exefile -p blast -d database.name -i $input.txt -o $output.out;
echo "<pre>$work</pre>";

$input and $output are variables that is taken from .php file.

1) Do anyone have an example of how I can do this?

2) How about passing variables from command prompt? Is it possible?

I am also looking to do a similar program call and need to pass a variable from a command line.

Any luck with this?

Did you try your own?

Here is the solution I was looking for:

$out = `/usr/bin/php data.php 'id=$id'`;
