Re: PHP command for issuing UNIX command???

Hi! When I use those PHP function, 1) "exec()", 2) "passthru()" and 3) "system()", they don't work. I suspect that I would need to enter the Environment Variable so I did the "putenv()" for the PATH, BASH, etc. But still does not work. Check file Permission and so on. (Can't use fopen() to create a file due to permission error). What am I missing here?
