Hi there,

I have a script that takes two inputs from the keyboard to change some
settings on some equipment. I would usually run this as e.g.

ben@srv001:/$ change-settings<enter>
new-setting 1 <enter>
new-setting2 <enter>
Settings successfully changed
ben@srv001:/$

I want to automate this from a PHP script (it will be for my use only
with restricted access via .htaccess etc, so security is not a major
issue).

I can do system or exec("change-settings"); ok, but how do I 'enter'
the input from a php-script? The new-settings1 and 2 will be stored
in variables in PHP.

Thanks,

Ben
