    I have been writing PHP for about 10 years and I have no clue what you are asking or wanting. Can you give more about what you are wanting to do?

    Definitely passthru, it is binary safe and the data is passed directly back to the browser.

    you can do exec:

    
exec('command', $result);
print_r($result);

    I would do where date is the shell command I want to run

    exec(escapeshellcmd('date', $result));
    print "The result of the date command is " . $date ."\n";

    These solution show the result AFTER the shell command has terminated. If he is asking to get partial results, this is not going to do it.
