Comments:
popen runs "sh -c <your command>". This command does
succeed. The fact that sh was unable to run your command
should be checked by the pclose status.
Moreover, popen is pretty dangerous to use in PHP, since all
the I/O is buffered, and if the program exits before all the
output was written, you can easily get a SIGPIPE which will
kill your script.
