this code:
<?php
$testOutput = shell_exec("ls");
$where2cd2='testDir/';
$firstCMD="cd $where2cd2";
$firstOutput = shell_exec("$firstCMD");
// $firstOutput = shell_exec('cd testDir/');
$testOutput2 = shell_exec("ls");
$secondCMD='ln -s amex_cid.gif myccGOV.gif';
$secondOutput = shell_exec("$secondCMD");
echo "testOutput:<br><pre>$testOutput</pre>";
echo "testOutput2:<br><pre>$testOutput2</pre><br>firstCMD=$firstCMD<hr>";
echo "firstOutput:<br><pre>$firstOutput</pre><br>secondCMD=$secondCMD<hr>";
echo "secondOutput:<br><pre>$secondOutput</pre><br>thirdCMD=$thirdCMD<hr>";
?>
is not producing the symlink that I think it should. (?!?) (neither in the dir/ where this script lives, nor in the testDir/ where I am actually trying to create it, on the fly.
Server is not in safe mode.
