Php exec not returning error message in output

0 votes

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>"
}

 How do I get full output?

Hello @kartik,

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);

Hope it helps!!
