Re: Path getting messed up - cannot find a file

Please ignore - it was a variable problem, not a path problem. Sorry for the trouble.

If I run the following code:

exec ("swetest -edir$sweph -b$utdatenow -ut$utnow -p012 -eswe -flsj -g, -head", $out);

all is well - PHP finds the program swetest and makes the calculations.


But if I then insert this beforehand:

$NetGeoHTML = file_get_contents($NetGeoURL, 99000);

exec ("swetest -edir$sweph -b$utdatenow -ut$utnow -p012 -eswe -flsj -g, -head", $out);

I get no output because apparently PHP does not know where to find the program called swetest. Why does "file_get_contents" mess up my "path" and how do I get this to work?

Thank you.
