Hi people, I have a big problem ... Well, I have a Web Server, running in a linux system ... Imagine that you type: www.caca.com.br/index.html This page contains a field and a botton: Type or name: xxxxxxxxxxxx Botton: Search Then, when I click in botton (called Search), a script (shell script) will be executed and the result(output) will be showed on the screen ... Does anyone know how can I do this code ? I will use HTML or any other ? Thanks

can't do that with html only. in PHP, you can use a couple functions to work with console commands. Here a sample with system(), which will only return the last line from the result. ----- A little more detailed: You need to create a page which will display the form, with a text-input field and a button (search). Then you do this in the form's target: <?php $result = exec('locate' . $_POST['query']); // Now $result will contain the last line from // the result of the 'locate' command. ?> ---

whoops. exec() is supposed to be system(). exec() is more suitable as it can be filled with every line from the result, but you should look at system() first if you're not familiar with html/php... Then you can click another similar command on the bottom of the system()'s manual page above, to look at other useful PHP commands. ---
