system command

[axman505]

I am running the following system command:

$passwordEnc = system('/path/to/password.pl '.escapeshellarg($password));

The password.pl script simple prints out an encrypted password.

THe problem is that it is also printing this to the screen .. how can I assign the outputed file to $passwordEnc with the value being printed on the screen?

Thanks.
