I have the following PHP script:
<?php
$fortune = `fortune`;
echo $fortune;
?>
but the output is simply blank (no visible errors thrown).
However, if I run php -a
, it works:
php > echo `fortune`;

Am I missing a config directive or something that would cause this?
Edit: So, I tried running my script using $ php-cgi fortunetest.php
and it worked as expected. Maybe the issue is with Apache2?
