You can dig out what 127 means from perror, or you can just go with
the "usual" suspects of paths and permissions.
PHP does not run as "you" from the command line and does not use
"your" shell and does not have "your" environment.
Use FULL PATH everywhere. E.g.:
exec("/usr/bin/zip /home/www/bastos.com/example/files/", $output,
$error);
Also make sure the PHP User has read/write access to whatever it needs
to do the job. And be VERY CAREFUL about who else then has access
because of this!!!
For ultimate geekiness, you can install a custom PHP extension I wrote
to print out the error message matching 127:
http://l-i-e.com/perror

Know what I want?
I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist.
