Hi Robert,
Thanks so much for the prompt reply.
Actually, I'm not trying to execute a php script, I'm trying to execute a
shell (bash) script.
This works at the command line:
bash makethesite.sh param1 param2 param3
This doesn't work via php
$bashresult=shell_exec('bash makethesite.sh param1 param2 param3');
echo $bashresult;
Doesn't execute the script, nothing in $bashresult
Kelly
