#!/www/php/php

<?php

echo system('whoami');

system('ls > test.txt');

exec('ls > test1.txt');

?>

 

 

the file test1.txt is generated if php program is run in command prompt. but if the same program is run in internet explorer browser, it doesnot generate any files

What are the file's owner, group, and permissions?

From which directory are you running the file on the command line? What is this directory's owner, group, and permissions?

What user and group is Apache running as?

[kiruthika]

apache server is root user....

the file is in another user.. not root....

file has read, write, permission in user mode but not in root

Now it's working fine. I have changed the directory permission, working fine. Thanks for your help.
