Hey guys,

I am just wondering what I can do in this situation.
I have this simple web page, through which I want to invoke a program that leaves a file on site.
For your information, this web page itself can write (it saves uploaded files in a specific location in the server).
But the problem is that when I invoke the program via the web page (using a native system call in php), it doesn't produce a file in the same specific location the web page succeeded to leave a file.

Simply speaking, my situation is
a web page can save a file to folder A,
but when the web page invokes a program to leave a file in the folder, it can't.
And the question is
how I can make the program to do so when it's invoked by the web page?

Thanks,
HJ.

You should provide the full path to the program and depending on the
system you are running the script, the path may have unstandardised '\'
as directory divider in the path.

Also the command to invoke the command may or may not have a $HOME set.

I only can think of path or permission

did you change permission for the target directory ?
