I have problem in executing linux command $output=exec("ls -a"); echo "<pre>$output</pre>"; the above coding works, but $output=exec("cp file1 file2"); echo "<pre>$output</pre>"; does not works. can any one help me out of this problem When I was executing the "cp" command it doesn't return anything. But it returned the name of the last file when i executed the "ls" command

try it on the command line .. cp file1 file2 doesn't return anything - so your script probably is working as it correctly returns nothing. if you want to see output try cp -v file1 file2 -- Sean
