re-writting the code - exec() command

[asolell]

One of my users is of need to run the following script.
I'm curious if there is a way to rewrite it such that
it doesn't need to use the exec() command.

exec("echo \"$txt\" >> /tmp/yaniv.log");

The reason is because our server has been tightening the security and the exec() is one of the functions that is now blocked. (no more system(), exec(), passthru() ).

Is there a way to rewrite it such that this will not be an issue?

thanks,

You could just write the file using PHP's file functions.

Great!
I just learned that this is not a must for me to modify this.
We have safe_mode enabled along with phpSuExec and base_dir_protection
That pretty much puts enough limits on the system.
Thanks for your help.
