hello...
why can't you simply specify the dir/cmd when you run the exec function
ie foo = exec("var\cmd.sh")
or use the backtick approach instead of the exec/shell_exec cmd...
make sure you have given the cmd "x" privs... and that your process you're
running the php app has the privs to run the cmd...

Subject: 2 successive commands in one shell_exec?
How do we use
string shell_exec ( string $cmd )
to hit another cgi script from within a PHP page?
I mean I need to do that, and so with my very newbie level of
understanding I think I need to have that shell_exec essentially do 2
things at once:
-goto the right dir, and then
-fire the script in that dir.
like these 2 successive commands in terminal:
cd $MyPath
./MyOtherCGI.cgi
It seems initially clear at lease how to do either one of those
terminal commands from within shell_exec, but not *both*.
How do I get both commands in there?
Sorry if my Q is too green
