Im not a newbie this is not a question that could be answered by the manual
i have been trying to get system() to execute zip to zip up a few files on the bsd server and give them to the client
for all intents and purposes lets just cansider the executing of the command right now.
i go to execute it and system returns m=nothing and does nothing. no zip file is made and if i echo the command line i try to execute to the screen and then paste it into the shell con it works fine. my script is able to write file to the directory im trying to put it in and if i execute any other command it returns fine. however i also noticed that it will not return anything when i attempt to execute "man zip" which woudl return the zip manual. but it return the manual for other commands. what the hell is going on.
do i have to recompile php whenever i install a new program out of the ports tree or what.
any insight would be appreciated.
