running shell script from php page

[dreamchimney]

hello,
im running a shell script using shell_exec from a php page by hitting with a brower. the shell script works but not every command in it. forexample i have antiword installed and it works when i run the shell script via the terminal but not from php's shell_exec.

is there something like permissions i need to set to allow antiword and other commands to run in script when called using php's shell_exec ?

my antiword is set to 755

thanks for your help!

Well aside from permissions, one possibility is that your enviroments are different, and Apache doesn't share your PATH. Are you calling the script w/the absolute path?
