Hi I have a simple problem.(it seems). When I issue system("date"); I get the date ok, but when i issue : system("tar tvfz /dev/tape"); I get no output ? when I issue the command in a shell, everyting works fine. The same story when I try to use "mt" to check the status of the tape. It works from the prompt, but not through PHP ? What do I do wrong ? I use php 4.0.1pl2, Apache 1.3.12, Linux 2.2.16 Thanx- Thomas
