I want to pass two values from my PHP code to the shell command line. Something like this:

<?php
$myhost="myhost";
$mydir="mydir";
$runcommand = shell_exec("ssh $myhost du -h $mydir");
echo "<pre>$runcommand</pre>";

?>

I have tested different ways and no luck. If I hard code the values it works like a charm. This:

echo "<pre>$myhost,$mydir</pre>";

Shows both values being passed.

What am I missing?

Thank you for any assistance.

    much esire for debugging: $run ="ssh $myhost du -h $mydir"; echo $run; $runcommand = shell_exec($run); Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 20:32

    There is no $myhost or $mydir variable in your code. When you run it goes like: ssh du -h. Is that a typo ? Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 20:34
