should certainly work, but $value is 1.

I don't think PHP makes any distinction between whatever system commands you
use.

OK, when you run ssh on the command line, the first time you connect to any
host you'll get asked to verify the remote host's fingerprint, this then gets
added to ~/.ssh/known_hosts. So the first thing you should do perform this
step.
Then the next thing is you usually need a password to access the remote host,
as it's usually pretty difficult to enter a password if you want to run this
script non-interactively so you make use of keys:
