Using exec()

[dangercrow]

<?php$program = 'D:\growlnotify.exe /pass:password /a:app /t:'.$_GET['title'].' /n:Message '.$_GET['message']$run = exec($program);if ($run)	echo 'Success!';else 	echo 'Fail.';?>

This is my code, and it is used to run the program "growlnotify", passing the required arguments. However, it keeps on throwing an error to my browser... can anyone explain why? I've tried to keep the code as concise as possible, to prevent too many complications :)ThanksDangercrow

What error are you getting?

[dangercrow]

a parse error... i think its on the "if" line

[niche]

if ($run) {    echo 'Success!';else    echo 'Fail.';}

Should work.

You're missing a semicolon on the first line.

[thescientist]

if ($run) {    echo 'Success!';else    echo 'Fail.';}

Should work.

if you're going to re-write it with braces I think the proper way to write it would be

if ($run) {	echo 'Success!';}else{	echo 'Fail.';}

but a slightly niftier way to write it could be like this:

($run) ? echo 'Success!' : echo 'Fail.';

I missed the semi colon and the brackets for the else. Please excuse me.
