That is pretty odd, as you seem to have covered the Usual Mistakes...
I guess my next move would be to try:
if (file_exists('/bin/ls')){
echo "Okay, /bin/ls does exist.\n";
}
else{
echo "Hmmm... PHP says /bin/ls does not exist.\n";
}
if (is_executable('/bin/ls')){
echo "Okay, /bin/ls is executable.\n";
}
else{
echo "hmmm... PHP says /bin/ls is not executable.\n";
}
and so on...
Try every which way from PHP to check out /bin/ls to see if it is there.
I suppose it's also possible that the default Environment for PHP is
attempting to ls a directory for which you do not have access...
Try using '/bin/ls /full/path/to/your/web/tree' instead.

[PHP] Problem with the passthru function
Hello All, I have a small php file (test.php) whose code is shown below: This test.php works fine when I execute from command prompt as "php test.php", but when I access it through web browser, it seems not to be working fine, I get an exit status of 127 (which means command not found). I checked for permissions of ls, gave full path, but still it is failing. Can anybody help me in indentifying what is the potential problem? Thank you, Venkatesh ps: Sorry if this is the wrong mailing list. I have subscribed to this list, so posting here. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
