I would like to use exec()

[mcwebdzyne47]

Dear Staff,

I need to dynamically get a list of files from my "root/public_html/upNorth/audio/" folder, but in order to do so, I need to use the exec(); function. The exec(); function returns the output of the command "ls ./audio/" as an array, allowing me to step through the array and create links on the index.php file for the user to download the files.

Thank you so very much for considering this request. I really appreciate it. Have a great day and thank you so much for your prompt service!

Sincerely,
Benjamin J. Tiffany

I see that it's saying that it's disabled for security reasons. Unfortunately, settings are not enabled or disable for just one account. It affects all accounts on the same server your account is on.

I worked around it and used a database to hold all of the file information instead. It just took me a lot of extra time. So this post is resolved.
