            echo "Result:\n";
            foreach($stdout AS $line) {
                        echo $line."\n";
            }

} ?> This code give the exit code -1 that is equal to that "ls -lrt" could not be executed.

Does the daemon run chrooted somewhere? What does $PATH contain? What happens if you use /bin/ls?

I tried with /bin/ls but still same thing. I just found out that the exitcode is -1 but the $stdout actually gives correct answer. But that doesn't make sense. How can I then control what action to take depending on the exitcode?
