PHP exec calls a C program that creates a file

Hi,

I'm using exec to call a compiled C program that creates/writes to a
file...However this doesn't seem to be working....
I tried setting all the permissions to 777 but still nothing...??

Any help is appreciated..

Thx,
Joseph

Code, and in particular error messages would be a start. "doesn't seem to be
working" and "still nothing" aren't very descriptive.

How could we possibly tell? What does "doesn't seem to be working" mean?

The concept in general works. What error trapping have you tried? Have
the C program spit out what filename it's trying to open, for a
starter. Have you tested that program on its own?
