How can I invoke a shell script with parameters from within a PHP script? For example, from within my web-based PHP script, I want to execute the command "/home/cscgal/script.sh -f foo"

Jump to Postwouldnt you use the system() or exec() commands?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php
Jump to PostI haven't used these but that is the way I read it, only differences in output. The command part is a string so I assume you can use variables normally in the command.
