Phrasing program output for web interface

[bonkalot]

does anybody have any ideas or URLs to sites that can tell me how to phrase the output of a program.

I want to make PHP web interfaces for IPTABLES so that u can see what rules are running, and how much your counters are doing, and also an interface for wvdiald so u can dis/connect ppp connections and keep a log of times and things in a MYSQL DB.


thanks in advance

You'll have better luck getting this answered in the programming forum. Moving it there.

If executing the command directly from PHP look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php
If using a shell script that outputs all the information you need then look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.virtual.php

Probably better to invoke a shell script from the PHP. This shell script will grow as you add more run-time system checks and platform-dependant switches, and this will be far easier to do in bash than PHP. Then use the PHP string manipulation to parse and make pretty the output returned:
