My mistake Kevin, I did not put the full path of the shell script into the $script variable.
Thanks very much for your help Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 February 2003 14:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] How can you execute UNIX scripts from PHP Hi Kevin, Thanks very much for your reply, but I'm having no luck with it. In the test that I'm doing, I'm using the same code as you provided. It's on a Solaris system & the permissions & ownership of the shell script is correct. The shell script is also located in the same directory as the php file. All the shell script is doing is creating a file & works grand when run from the command line. Have you any ideas/thoughts on this? I'd really appreciate it!
