System function

[mns9939]

HI,
In a PHP script, i am using the system function to execute some commands to send file to a printer etc.
How ever, i am unable to execute the following command:

$cmd = 'host sqlplus xyz/abc@adm1 @/home/test.sql'
system($cmd);

Can any one tell if this is not possible to invoke this command from a php script?

Both php and the sqlplus script are on the same Unix box.

Thanks,

probably cause you are not allowed to run executables from the shell or the path to the file is not the usual and he can't execute.

Another thing, what's the output of :
`$cmd`? (backticks)
