ok, this is probably more steps than needed.
I have an HTML page that asks for 2 dates (start and end) I want it to accept those dates and send them to a PHP file which will then kick off a script using those dates as variables.
main page:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Calendar lookup </title>
</head>
<link href="stylesheets/common.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<body>
<h1>Calendar Date Range</h1>
<form method="post" action="run_script.php">
Start Date YYYY-MM-DD: <br />
<input type="text" name="Start_Date" size="35" />
<br />
End Date YYYY-MM-DD: <br />
<input type="text" name="End_Date" size="35" />
<br /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<br />
</form>
</body>
that page should pass the dates to my php file-run_script.php:
<?php
$Start_Date = $_POST['Start_Date'];
$End_Date = $_POST['End_Date'];
exec (sudo sh "gather.sh $Start_Date $End_Date ");
?>
however, it's not kicking off the gather script at all it seems. when I hit the submit button I take me to a blank page /run_script.php and never runs gather.sh (i check where it should be dumping the data nothing shows up)
I know the script works fine if I run sh gather.sh it does what I want just need to get that PHP file to kick it off for the users.
any thoughts? or is this just the completely wrong way to go about it?
Edit
As Ed pointed out it has a giant vulnerability in the PHP. so it is the wrong way.
suggestions on another way are appreciated.

Please do not deploy this code anywhere; it has a giant injection vulnerability. Anyone able to access the PHP file in a browser could use it to run arbitrary code on your machine.

Not to mention there is a php syntax error. PHP has no clue whatsudo share. You should be passing that into the string"sudo sh gather.sh $Start_Date $End_Date "

@stcoyle why not use PHP and something like mysql or plain-text to store dates, then parse them from the plain text file with PHP

At the very least you should validate that the values that come are really dates and that are in the range you expect them to be.
