omgwtfnoway: Aug 22, 2004; Uhhh.... little help here, please?

I'm trying to use exec() in a php script to add and commit some files to SVN.

I'm doing something like:

code:

$cmd = "cd c:\pathWithSVN";
exec($cmd);
$cmd = "svn add $abaFilename";
exec($cmd);

I had to cd into that path first - or else any SVN commands won't execute.

Then to commit - I do something like:

code:

$cmd = "cd c:\pathWithSVN";
exec($cmd);
$cmd = "svn commit -m \"Updates yadda yadda\"";
exec($cmd);

The problem is: neither of these commands are being run. Any ideas? I've never tried executing command line commands from a script before. This is run on a windows machine with apache/php5.

Install the SVN PECL extension then do it natively.

This is what I ended up doing. Seems to work pretty well.

Thanks for the help.
