Hello everyone,

Iam new here and need help. I sell a script that requires shell exec
and a customer's error is this:

You don't have 'shell_exec' support in PHP, please check your PHP installation. This function is required.

Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/talkin/public_html/wpm/setup.php on line 319
Failed to use 'shell_exec' in PHP. Please contact your hosting.
Command was:
{ echo 0 && echo $?; } 2>&1
Output:

2 fatal error(s), can't continue.

===========

Is there a workaround for this? Since his hosting will not
allow this.?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Nope, no way around it except to get the host to allow it.

PHP can have any number of limitation set on it by the server admin. This one obviously has taken out shell_exec.

Besides, the sentence "You don't have 'shell_exec' support in PHP" can have connotations other then some feature doesn't exist in any shape or form.

Now, I may be wrong, but try doing this:

CODE

<?php

`{ echo 0 && echo $?; } 2>&1 `;

?>


Any string enclosed in `'s (note: they are not quotes) are run as a shell command. So, if the admin has just disabled the function shell_exec, you may still be able to do that.
