Hey guys, I have two scripts.

1. running an update and calling shell_exec('svn update') and shell_exec('svn st')
2. running a mysqldump shell_exec('mysqldump params')

The svn script is not running the update command, the svn st is printing results but not the svn update

I tried to declare parameters when calling svn update eg 'svn update ' . dir . ' --username myuser --password mypasswd --non-interactive'; -- still nothing Played with most of the params

If this is something related to binaries/permissions/groups, I don't see it. The mysqldump command works fine and is producing a file, so why isn't the svn updating the filesystem?

Please do not advise using core SVN classes in PHP. This is not an option, I don't have complete control over the server and the module is not available.

Thanks for your help,

-hbt

PS: important thing to mention here. The scripts works when called via the command line. It only fails when called via a web browser.
