Bit of an interesting one for all you php'ers out there

Currently writing a script which uses php and ssh2. It connects to the server and runs the command. What i want it to do is output the command in the browser window, can this be done?

Current test code is

Code:

<?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('REMOVED', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'root', 'REMOVED');

$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, ' cd / ; wget ftp://REMOVED/fedora9/RPM-GPG-KEY');
stream_set_blocking($stream, true);

$output = stream_get_contents($stream);

?>

What doesn't work in your script? Can't you just echo $output to display the output from the ssh session?

yep already thought of that, the script works fine, what im wanting if possible is to display the output of when the command is run.

Code:

if($output){
echo $output;
}

So you want to stream_get_contents($stream); to be displayed?

Yep thats what i want it to do

When you echo $output you get nothing?

Code:

<?php

$connection = ssh2_connect('REMOVED', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'root', 'REMOVED');

$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, ' cd / ; wget ftp://REMOVED/fedora9/RPM-GPG-KEY');
stream_set_blocking($stream, true);

$output = stream_get_contents($stream);
echo $output;

?>

This should display stream_get_contents($stream); if not then something else is wrong, afaik.

yep that's correct, the script is executing and it's downloading the file correctly just not showing any output that it's currently running.
