PHP Reply to the Change shell Result

Hi,

Thanks for the reply..
I tried again but Nope same result.
The shell exists in usr/bin/ksh in ubuntu.

But I tried to change from bash to ksh through this line:

$ chsh -s /usr/bin/ksh
its exit status is:- 0

But after that i use echo $SHELL: the o/p is same 'bash'.

I think there should be something wrong...
