pHp and Osascript
I have a project in which I am trying to create a web interface to control and ARD server. What I am trying to do is have a web interface (through apache and php) run applescript which controls ARD which then controls computers in a lab environment. I have gotten as far is writing the entire web front end, but I can't get php to run osascript to do the applescripts. I have tried changing apache's user to an administrator and have verfied that change was accepted by doing a phpinfo();. I get no error and no feedback from a line like this
+echo shell_exec("osascript scripts/test.applescript");+
where test.applescript is a simple script like
+return "hello world"+
however I know that I can run command line codes b/c
+echo shell_exec("ls -f");+
returns correctly.
I have heard of other people having success running applescripts from php, but I am at my wits end. Does anyone have any ideas?
