    Hey folks,

    Is it possible to redirect text from stdout to a variable?

    I do something like this and get the output on the screen:

    echo "Some Text to be Encrypted" | /usr/local/bin/gpg -a --always-trust --batch --no-secmem-warning -e -u "GPG Tester " -r "SomeDude@TheDudesDomain.com"

    Most sites advise to do something like this if using PHP:

    $cmd = "echo $msg | $gpg --batch --no-secmem-warn --armor --home $home_dir \
     -u $fm --default-key $fm -r $to --encrypt --sign";

    $message_body = `$cmd`;

    mail($to,'Web Site Order',$message_body);

    However, "safe mode" is on, and won't let me do it. Any ideas?
