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.

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 - YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!

Either you are not using error checking AGAIN!!
OR
You are showing us re-typed in code that YOU DIDN"T ACTUALLY RUN.

I've told you multiple times that you need to do these two things and you are back at it again.

The sample php above has plain simple syntax errors that would keep it from running, which error checking would tell you IF YOU RAN IT.
