exec() white page

[asmith]

Hi,

 

I have a vps and as root, (on my CLI: 'php -a'), I run this code:

 

exec('/home/public_html/programs/execFile', $output);
echo '<pre>'.print_r($output,true).'</pre>';

 

and it works fine and prints the data it supposed to show.

I put same code in a php script an run it, it gives me:

Array

(

)

 

Someone told me the php from CLI has different php.ini than the one webserver uses.

The php.ini I know is located at:

/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

and safe_mod is off there.

 

Any idea?
