Pack a .DEB in php 5

[mofolo]

Hi,

Is there a way to run:

dpkg -b 

In php 5?

Everytime I run

system("dpkg -b [dir]",$collect);

$collect returns: 127;

What am i doing wrong?

Try doing:

echo shell_exec("dpkg -b [dir]"); 

and let us know what the output is.

Nothing is output. :queasy:

Thanks for the prompt reply too!

Any Ideas?

Contact your host and see if it's a configuration or permission issue?

Sorry, I'm not sure how to proceed; I tried Google'ing 'dpkg error 127' but didn't get any meaningful results, so I don't even know what the status code even means.

Yeh, It's a very odd situation.

I'll contact them today.

Is there an alternative to packing a deb with linux?
