Opens process file pointer

Opens a pipe to a process executed by forking the command given
by .

mode
The mode. Either for reading, or
for writing.
'r'``'w'
On Windows, defaults to text mode, i.e. any
characters written to or read from the pipe will be translated to .
If this is not desired, binary mode can be enforced by setting
to and , respectively.
`popen``\n``\r\n``mode``'rb'``'wb'`
Returns a file pointer identical to that returned by
, except that it is unidirectional (may
only be used for reading or writing) and must be closed with
. This pointer may be used with
, , and
. When the mode is 'r', the returned
file pointer equals to the STDOUT of the command, when the mode
is 'w', the returned file pointer equals to the STDIN of the
command.

If an error occurs, returns false.
Voorbeeld: example
<?php
$handle = popen("/bin/ls", "r");
?>
If the command to be executed could not be found, a valid resource is returned. This may seem odd, but makes sense; it allows you to access any error message returned by the shell:
Voorbeeld: example
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/* Add redirection so we can get stderr. */
$handle = popen('/path/to/executable 2>&1', 'r');
echo "'$handle'; " . gettype($handle) . "\n";
$read = fread($handle, 2096);
echo $read;
pclose($handle);
?>
Opmerking: > If you're looking for bi-directional support (two-way), use .
