Are you getting any error messages from your script? Also, do you have safe_mode enabled? If you do, you can only execute programs within the safe_mode_exec_dir [us2.php.net].

[MrGecko]

i don't know any thing about safe mode
i'm using the default stetings

It is turned off by default, although just to make sure, what does the following code give you?

echo (ini_get("safe_mode"))? 'Enabled':'Disabled';

Also, are you receiving any errors? Have you checked your log?
