I have created a PHP script that looks like:

<?php
  $filename = "/var/www/html/db_backup_" . date("n-j-y").".sql";
  exec('mysqldump -u ***** -p***** database > $filename');
?>

For some reason this doesnt work and I cant figure out why.  There is no 
error that comes back.  When I run the mysqldump command from the server 
console it produces the file fine.  I have read a few other posts out there 
about this same thing which resulted in the location the file was being 
saved.  But I have gone through my server and found nothing.  Does anyone 
have any suggestions for regarding this.

Thanks,

Aaron
