Dear List -
I'm lost on this one -
This works -
$out = system("ls -l ",$retvals);
printf("%s", $out);
This does -
echo exec("ls -l");
This does not -
if( !file_exists("/var/www/orders.txt"));
{
$out = system("touch /var/www/orders.txt", $ret);
$out2 = system("chmod 766 /var/www/orders.txt", $ret);
echo 'file2<br />';
echo file_exists("/var/www/orders.txt");
}
and this does not -
if( !file_exists("/var/www/orders.txt"));
{
exec("touch /var/www/orders.txt");
exec("chmod 766 /var/www/orders.txt");
echo 'file2<br />';
echo file_exists("/var/www/orders.txt");
}

Hi Ethan,
Is there a reason you're using shell commands to achieve the following:
<?php
$path = '/var/www/orders.txt';
if( !file_exists( $path ) )
{
if( !touch( $path ) )
{
echo 'Failed to touch file into existence: '.$path."\n";
}
else
{
if( !chmod( $path, 0766 ) )
{
echo 'Failed to update file permissions: '.$path."\n";
}
}
}
?>
Also, why are you setting the executable bit on a text file? :)
Cheers,
Rob.
