Sorry for the delay but I was busy with soemthing else. The script prints the values of the variables fine in the browser so there must be a problem with the file writing part. When I run the script from my bash shell it creates the videodb database file, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't create no file whatsoever. At first I ran the script as a regular user and then I tried as root, I don't understand how the scripts writes the file from the shell when I am root but produces no output when I run it from the browser(as root also). > > > > > You know.
