Pass variable on shell

Question

I am running the exec command in PHP. I need to pass the variables along with it.

exec(sh myfilename.sh);

how can i pass variables to the above command ?

`exec(sh myfilename.sh $your_var);` should make it. Have you tried it? — fedorqui, Sep 20 '13 at 12:58

You can do it with

exec(escapeshellarg('/bin/sh myfilename.sh '.$key0.'='.$value0)); //e t.c.

-but to get that values, you should work with bash shell language (i.e. receive in myfilename.sh). See this article about that. In SO, there is a great answer about that - see here.

`$v1 = '; sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /';`. **Please, please, PLEASE use [`escapeshellarg`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellarg.php)** – h2ooooooo Sep 20 '13 at 13:00
