system() doesn't work

[vnv]

Hi,

 

I am running debian 4.0/ php5-cgi on chroot with suphp.

The problem beggins when I try to run a command with system() function, it does not run command.I've also tryed with shell_exec, exec even ``.

 

Any suggestion how to debug this situation?

 

tnx in advance.

You could start by posting the code in question.

[vnv]

Good point 

 

<?php
exec("id",$var);
print_r($var);
?>

 

And here's the code.

What do you get as the returned status? eg;

 

<?php

exec("id",$var,$ret);
print_r($var);
echo $ret;

?>

 

Also you might try passing the full path to the command.

 

<?php

exec("/usr/bin/id",$var,$ret);
print_r($var);
echo $ret;

?>

[vnv]

Array ( ) 127

 

This is the output.
