I am trying to get certain output for svn command in XML format. Output is ok when I type valid parameters. However, when I type in wrong password, output does not show error message. This is the PHP code:
exec('/usr/bin/svn --username something --password something --non-interactive log -r HEAD --xml --verbose http://a51.unfuddle.com/svn/a51_activecollab/', $output);
Here is output I get in the terminal:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<log>
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://a51.unfuddle.com/svn/a51_activecollab': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://a51.unfuddle.com)
And here is the output I get from the $output variable with var_dump:
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(21) "<?xml version="1.0"?>"
[1]=>
string(5) "<log>"
}
As you can see the $output variable does not return third line of output, where terminal does. Please help me to get the same output as I get in terminal (I even tried with shell_exec() or system() methods but they return the same output as exec()) How do I get full output? Thank you in advance!
You need to capture the stderr
too.
Redirecting stderr
to stdout
should do the trick. Append 2>&1
to the end of your command.
e.g.
exec("/usr/bin/svn --username something --password something --non-interactive log -r HEAD --xml --verbose http://a51.unfuddle.com/svn/a51_activecollab/ 2>&1", $output);
