Dear List -

I'm lost on this one -

This works -

$out = system("ls -l ",$retvals);
printf("%s", $out);

This does -

echo exec("ls -l");

Please show the output of the directory listing.
Please us "ls -la"


This does not -

if( !file_exists("/var/www/orders.txt"));
{
    $out = system("touch /var/www/orders.txt", $ret);

Maybe you don't have write permissions on the folder?

    $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");
}

When you say "does not work", can you show what is actually not working? I
believe the exec and system functions are likely working just fine, but that
the commands you've passed to them may not be.

echo exec('ls -la orders.txt');

If I perform the touch and chmod from the command line, everything works.

Here are my commands.

if( !file_exists("/var/www/orders.txt"));
{
echo system("touch /var/www/orders.txt", $ret);
echo system("chmod 766 /var/www/orders.txt", $ret);
echo 'file2<br />';
echo file_exists("/var/www/orders.txt");
}

If I now try a ls from the command line, the return is
 cannot access /var/www/orders.txt: No such file or directory

The ls -la  works because the file was created from the command line.

TIA

Ethan
