Description:
------------
i am trying to execute a command, i used "exec" and "system" and ` ` functions they worked well for example exec("ls",$var) and echo system("ls") 

when i tried to execute the following command 

exec("/home/vpopmail/vuserinfo user@domain",$var)

the following appears: "unable to set uid"

note that:
The appache2 web server runs as "vpopmail" user
vuserinfo: used to return details about user@domain
the permissions of the script vuserinfo is: 751
the ownership of the script vuserinfo is: vpopmail
the group of the script vuserinfo is: vchkpw

What OS do you use and why do you think it's PHP issue?
 [2006-08-06 15:56 UTC] totooo_hegab at yahoo dot com 
the server runs at linux

i tried all the probabilities, so i think it is from php

Did you try to login as vpopmail user and run this command in console?
 [2006-08-07 06:52 UTC] totooo_hegab at yahoo dot com 
yes the command works will on the console

What is the exact output you get with
<?php
var_dump(exec("/home/vpopmail/vuserinfo user@domain", $var));
var_dump($var);
?>
?
