Beginner - PHP exec()

Hi

Ive just installed Apache2 and php 5.15

Im tyring to execure a command from php but im just getting a blank page:

Code:

---

<?php       
echo exec('hostname')
?>

---

Is there somehting missing in my php config? its really doing my head in!

Nino

Have you checked out the manual

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

You might need to change some of the setting in the php.ini file. Is it your server or a webhost?

You may missed the ; at the end of the line.

<?php
echo exec('hostname'); // ; may missed
?>
