Hi, thanks for your quick response.

Here is my php code which is exactly same as in the link I posted. I just changed this one line with my shell script name

Code:

<?php

$shellscript = “/usr/bin/sudo autopasswd”;
.....
.......
// display footer 
function writeFoot(){
echo ‘




‘;
}
?>

Also added the line using "visudo" command

Code:

www-data  ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/www/html/autopasswd

And here is my shell script of "autopasswd"

Code:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set password [lindex $argv 1]
spawn password [lindex $argv 0]
expect "assword:"
send --"$password\r"

expect "assword:"
send --"$password\r"
expect eof

this script works when i run it as

Code:

 ./autopasswd username password

But when run the php script it shows nothing. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I want to give a web interface to users to change their password.
thanks in advance.
