Hello,

I have written a code for uploading a file onto the server.The code is as follows:

<? if ($_POST[SubmitB] == "Upload File")
{
if( move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['uploadFile'] ['tmp_name'],$target) )
{
$tmpsrc = $_FILES['uploadFile'] ['tmp_name'];
echo $tmpsrc."<br>";
sleep(5);

//$result = shell_exec('1.sh -e mysql');
//fwrite(STDOUT,$result);
//exit(0);
//shell_exec('echo $target');
//shell_exec('cat $target');
///shell_exec('sed -e "s/./&,/2" -e "s/./&,/28" $tmpsrc > upload/$outputfile');
//$cmd='sed -e "s/./&,/2" -e "s/./&,/28"';
//shell_exec($cmd);

shell_exec('sudo -u root -S sed -e "s/./&,/2" -e "s/./&,/28" $tmpsrc > upload/$outputfile');

//echo shell_exec("1.sh");
//echo "output =".$output."<br>";
echo "cmd =".$cmd."<br>";
echo "result =".$result."<br>";

echo "The file <a href=$target>".$_FILES['uploadedFile']['name']. "</a> has been uploaded";
}
}
else
{
echo "sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>


The code above is letting me upload the file onto the server, but I am
running a shell script in it, to allow me to edit that file that I have uploaded..
BUt this code is not letting me edit the file..

Is there any function that I should try ?

Please help!!!!

Thanks

I don't use php, I'm relying on perl instead, but what is the error message, and which line is problematical ? The one in red ? Can't you put some error reporting message and see what the problem is ?

The first time you use 'sudo', you have to give the root password ...

So, I think your script is waiting for the password.

Why do you want to do a 'sudo' ???

NB: "sudo -u root" & "sudo" is the same I think ...
