I am trying to pass a few variables to the shell_exec command, but for some reason it's not picking up the data in the php variables. Please help me, and the below is what I got:

$out = exec('curl -silent https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges -u sk_live_sdfsdfdsfsdfdf: -d "amount=$aaamount" -d currency=usd -d "description=BBB $aaamount" -d "card[number]=$ccnumber" -d "card[exp_month]=$expm" -d "card[exp_year]=$expy" -d "card[cvc]=611"');

Any kind of help I can get on this is greatly appreciated.

    Single quoted strings won't parse variables; use double quotes php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Commented Jun 1, 2013 at 19:41

    You're aware that PHP has bindings to cURL, right? Commented Jun 1, 2013 at 19:41

You're aware that PHP has bindings to cURL, right?

Besides, on the very front page of Stripe, right where you probably copied that curl command line, is a drop-down to change to other languages, namely PHP. They have an API for you to use:

require_once('./lib/Stripe.php'); Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_mkGsLqEW6SLnZa487HYfJVLf"); Stripe_Charge::create(array( "amount" => 400, "currency" => "usd", "card" => array( "number" => "4242424242424242", "exp_month" => 6, "exp_year" => 2014, "cvc" => 314 ), "description" => "Charge for [email protected]") );

Well your current code structure obviously isn't working, right? Why not do it the right way then and use their API?
i substitute single quotes with double quotes, now it's working, thanks anyways.
Sigh, some people never get it.
Stripe::setApiKey($stripe['secret_key']); try{ $customer = Stripe_Customer::create(array( 'email' => $email, 'card' => $stripCode ));} catch(Exception $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); } try{ $charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array( "amount" => $order_amount, // amount in cents "customer"=>$customer->id, "currency" => "usd", "source" => $token, "description" => "[email protected]", "application_fee" => 123 // amount in cents )); } catch(Exception $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); } It gives an error and charge is not created!!
