This sounds like permissions might be the cause, the web server will be performing operations as the user it is running as (apache or nobody), not as you :) so you'll need to either add apache to a group or make the directory writeable by it... either that and/or PHP is configured to run in safe mode where you can't use exec().

I thought the same thing but I know the permissions are correct (It's running on OSX Server so I have quite fine grained control over them)

I was intrigued to know if you could have applescripts as cgi scripts.. sounds handy, have you seen these pages? Seems it can be done quite easily.

I've actually seen all three. The last one is OK but a little different to what I need. I didn't want to have to 'learn' a whole new way of doing things.

The good news is I have it working but in a rather convoluted way. I use PHP to write a file into a common directory on the server using the variable from RB as the file name. I've written an applescript which duplicates the folder, renames it and then deletes the original file. it gets called every few minutes from a cron job - works a treat. At least now it's working I can investigate other things without pressure and just leave well enough alone if I don't find anything better.

cheers
