# $figlet = passthru("figlet moo"); 
# just "figlet moo" works on the shell, so you can save the echo and pipe.
# But the problem with passthru is that we always only get the first line of the returned text.
# I am being told: <+jome> #mutante: php.net/exec AND 
# < jannek> mutante: if you fetch stdout lik ethis $foo = `system command`;
# then foo will be a string with the output of the command.

# Tested out a bit, and this should work. mutante. (not yet)...
