Or, if you only want tar to execute after changing directories has
succeeded, use  instead of |

e.g.

shell_exec(cd /change/to/dir  tar cvf /place/for/backup.tar files);

 Can somebody tell me way this will work at the command line but will
 not work using PHP I also tried exec and system. from the command line
 it adds all the files and directors. But using the script below from
 PHP it creates an empty archive.
 
 shell_exec(cd /home/sites/www.directphp.net/ | tar --create --verbose
 --file=/home/sites/www.directphp.net/sitebackup/backup.192002.tar web);

Only just noticed this when I read my post...

Why do you want to use verbose?

If you want to capture the output for some reason, use this

exec(cd /change/to/dir; tar cvf /place/for/backup.tar files,
$capturedoutput);

otherwise drop the v (or --verbose) which will chew less resources.

Todd.
