Running shell commands using PHP script

Question

I\'m creating an app using CodeIgniter, but I\'m unable to run Linux commands using my PHP script.

How do I run terminal commands?

I\'ve tried shell_exec()

That depends on your server configuration if the functions are disabled, you need to enable them in your php.ini. Here are some alternatives:

• popen()
• or if you need an interactive way try proc_open()
• system()
