exec(chmod) results in /chmod: not found

[beckstei]

I'm trying to execute the following command:

exec("chmod 755 $filename");

The command is not executing and the following error results:

sh: /chmod: not found

Any command (cp, mv, etc.) results in a slash added to the front of the command and the not found error.

Any insight would be appreciated.

You'll need to give the full path to the program you're trying to run. On a default RedHat system, you'd do this:

$filename = "/full/path/to/filename";
exec("/bin/chmod 755 $filename");

HTH,
