decrypt using expect

Was wondering if someone could find the flaw in this $commandline = "/web/secure/decrypt.exp $filename $password $outputfile"; system($commandline); i have a place on the page to enter the password and pass it through when i echo the $commandline it gives me the line i need to run expect it is a no go from the page BUT if i copy the line it echos in the page and telnet in to the server and paste it in the same folder the php file is running from works everytime -- here is the expect file set filename [lindex $argv 0] set password [lindex $argv 1] set outputfile [lindex $argv 2] log_user 0 spawn /usr/local/bin/gpg -o $outputfile -d $filename expect { -ex "Enter passphrase:" { send "$password\r\r" expect { eof { exit } } } } any clues???
