Summary

As you have seen, there are many ways that PHP can be used to interact with the operating system on a very low level. With the functions I have discussed in this chapter, PHP could be used to develop many applications that most people would not consider possible from within PHP. Although the majority of these functions are available only on Unix (and specifically the command-line version of PHP), they are useful nonetheless. As always, it is critically important to make sure that your scripts are properly secured by consulting the security-related subjects not only in this book, but online as well.
