Anyone want a small web app written in PHP?

@NickGH said: If you want to run privileged commands, you'd have to give "root" privileges to apache which poses a lot of security risk.

or you could take advantage of sudo

That said, shell_exec and associated functions are rarely ever recommended for anything. People will suggest you build your own extension before they suggest using passthrough/system/shell_exec.

Which sounds hard

I can't get it to work :$. All I get are the three buttons in the top left corner and nothing else.

I'll give it a try, thanks

I do too @yomero ;_;

No worries @twain The imagettfbbox function was the main solution to your problem.

@bnmkl - tested and works great for the text variable to be new everytime from a new 'pwgen -ny 12'. And part of the problem is passing that command into a variable only takes the first password too... anyway I'll keep banging my ahead against this one.

@twain ... passing that command into a variable only takes the first password

Strange, lol. I will have a look at putting pwgen output into a PHP variable later.

What is your output for :

<?php

$pwgen = `pwgen -ny 12`;
echo $pwgen;

?>

@bnmkl

bash-4.1$ cat pwgentest.php 

<?php $pwgen = `/Users/indigodaddy/bin/pwgen -ny 12`; echo $pwgen; ?>

bash-4.1$ php pwgentest.php

Definitely strange @twain.

I would assume it is related to the special characters, but the example below works.

Haha. Actually tried pwgen and had the same problem @twain. Solved though by being more specific and formatting in PHP.

index.php

<?php

$PW_LENGTH   = 12;
$NUM_OF_PW   = 120;
$LINE_LENGTH = 78;

$text = `pwgen -ny $PW_LENGTH $NUM_OF_PW`;
$text = str_replace("\n", ' ', $text);
$text = wordwrap($text, $LINE_LENGTH, "\n");

require('./class.TextImage.php');

try {
    $image = new TextImage();
//  $image->setFontSize(14);
//  $image->setBackgroundColour('000');
//  $image->setTextColour('d4d4d4');
    $image->setText($text);
    $image->render();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    die($e->getMessage());
}

// END

@bnmkl - Wow that's awesome man!

http://indigodaddy.koding.com/pwgen-test/

I'm just learning php, so now I am going to sit down and try to understand as much as possible about everything you did here.. (which was a LOT.. thanks so much!)

To me this is an interesting project, I'll probably put it up on a real domain with https just for the heck of it.. you will be credited, let me know the credit/link you want me to add when I put it up..

bnmkl

It is all yours @twain

I have always remembered you after discovering that you are a fellow Puppy Linux fan.
