Re: trying to use EXEC with Zend

Kelly,

I think Larry was trying to get the output of a directory listing on the 
PC into his PHP script.  Using STRPCCMD won't work for this for two reasons:

1) STRPCCMD doesn't send the output of the commands you run back to your 
program.

2) STRPCCMD works by sending a specially formatted screen to your 5250 
emulator.  The emulator sees the screen, and grabs the command off of it 
and runs it.  Since the PHP script isn't running in a 5250 emulator, it 
can't possibly use STRPCCMD.
