    run program or command using php

    i want to run a unix/linux program with a php script.
    i have two textbox named text1 and text2
    and one button named execute.
    if the button clicked then execute a unix command
    like this :
    execute( "cp text1 text2")

    "cp" is unix command for copy
    "text1" is directory source file to copy
    "text2" is destination directory

    how's the code looks like, write me an example.

      Create a form. Check this link to how form works if you dont know http://www.w3schools.c om/php/php_forms.asp.

      On receiving submitted data, use exec() to run the commands

      <?
      $text1 = escapeshellcmd( $_POST["text1"]);
      $text2 = escapeshellcmd( $_POST["text2"]);
      exec("cp $text1 $text2")
      ?>

      Use escapeshellcmd( ) to avoid any problems.
