exec() ``

hi guys

I am having some problems executing using the exec() and ``.

Im trying to remove a file with it and I try rm -v filename.fn

$execString = "rm -r filename.fn";
exec($exeString, $output);
printf($output)


this is what it tells me--->removing /home/filename.fn

but the filename is still there?

I dont get it?? can anyone please help


if i print the $output i

Hmmm. Do you have delete privledges for your account? I assume that you're not logged in as root, right? ALso, try specifying the full path to the file as a second option.

its got me baffled.

i dont know why it says that it is removing when it doesn't.

it doesn't say that if you dont have the correct privileges.

any more ideas?

thanks
