ok so i have a web server and on it a website (round of applause) you can upload a .wav file as a binary on the website which is stored in a mysql BLOB. now i want to pass the sql result to an encoder available on the web server. the encoder runs from the command line like so encoder -p password -t text file -d .wav file;
Now someone mentioned writing a shell script that will run when the user clicks a link, i dont have a clue how to use shell scripts, so if anyone out there can inform me if this is the right thing and maybe direct me to a good tutorial it would be appreciated.
All advise welcome!
