  @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.

  strings.txt

  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..

  It is all yours @twain

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