Hi

I'm having a problem with a PHP application on my DA box and I hope someone can help.

The script attempts to call curl using the exec function but gets a command not found error.

e.g.

Code:
$cmd = 'curl -s "http://www.someserver.com/script.php';
exec($cmd . " > /dev/null &")
;

Apache error log shows
sh: curl: command not found

Yes the server does have curl installed and I can call curl via SSH without any problems.

The site has open_basdir turned off.

I'm calling curl via the exec function instead of using PHP's built in curl functions so that it runs in a separate process that I can monitor to provide a progress bar to the user.

All of this works fine on my development machine (OS X) but not on my Direct Admin server (Debian)

Anyone have any ideas?
