PHP shell access question
Hello all,
I am working on a project to create highly customizable live cds mainly for my peronal use and for friends to try diffrent OSs. At the moment I have several shell scripts that I am looking at converting over to PHP if possiable. The bulk of it i know can be ported easily enough but I have never attempted to call other programs besides MySQL in PHP so I am not quite sure if it is feasable. The server will be located all inhouse with no outside access untill i can be sure of the security implcations involved in the procedure and lower the risks. Can I access other programs through php, spefically can I run "/usr/local/bin/mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -c boot/boot.catalog -r -l -L -V LiveCD -o $LIVEISODIR/LiveCD.iso ." and get the intended result? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
