here is some more info.... i figured out the exec fails because php is running in safe mode. that is ok when i am at home developing (i can turn it off) however when i go to upload my app to my server which runs in safe mode.. what do i do then? is there a way around this?
i tried using the ini_set function to turn safe mode off but this appears not to work suggestions would be great as this is driving me nuts! cheers c.
