type command in PHP
Hello, I am having trouble getting the type command to work in PHP whereas it works fine on the command line with only certain functions... example from PHP script:
Code:
echo system('type cp');

returns
Code:
cp is /bin/cp

whereas
Code:
echo system('type mogrify');

returns nothing... whereas from the unix command line typing in
Code:
type mogrify

i get
Code:
mogrify is /usr/local/bin/mogrify

Which is right..! Anyone any ideas...? Cheers Dave

The difference is probably your PATH settings. The barebones PATH a web server gives things almost certainly wouldn't include /usr/local/bin.
