Htpasswd & Php

[scrupul0us]

anyone know how to communicate/work with htpasswd from php?

i tried going:

<?php
$output = shell_exec('htpasswd -n /path/to/passwords test test');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?> 

but i get no output back from the echo

but when i do this via a shell i get:

Updating password for user test

Not a solution, but put 2>&1 after your command so that any errors are also reported to output

"2>&1" huh?

htpasswd -n /path/to/passwords test test 2>&1

As your command. If you don't get something just type it into google, no matter what it is you'll probably come up with an answer.
