Didnt Worl.

Didnt Worl", which I assume should be "It didn't work", is very vague.

Did you get an error message?
What diagnostic steps have you taken?
Does your tcl script try to do something that filesystem permissions might be a factor?

sorry for the vague information.
here is what i am doing.

test.tcl
---------
#!/bin/sh
# \
exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"}

set result 38

puts $result
return $result
-----------------------------------------------------

myFile.php
---------
<?php
global $res;

$res = exec ("test.tcl") ;
echo $res;
?>

It is not printing any thing when i call myFile.php from browser. I even tried with shell_exec. The page doesnt respond.

when i use,
$res = exec (tchsh "test.tcl") ;

it is not printing any thing.

When running a program script through an interpreter from the command line, it is generally necessary to invoke the interpreter and tell it what script to run. For example, if I wanted to run a php script from the command line, I would like have to do something like:

php foo.php


Likewise, from within your PHP script you invoke invoke the tcl interpreter and tell it what script to run.

Also try running command using backtick operator.

$res = `tchsh "test.tcl"` ;

I never set a goal because u never know whats going to happen tommorow.

That's probably easier. The only reason I suggested using exec() is that happyIndian100 said he/she wanted the return value of the script.
