All the advise I've seen is horrible. chroot isn't enabled by default without a reason (php and security have a history). My first question would by why you need system() in the first place. If you need the date/time, just use https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php. If it's just a proof of concept be more precise in what you want to achieve and see if there's a PHP library equivalent. If there's no reasonable way to achieve it (which I highly doubt) I advise to copy the required binary (and dependencies) into the chroot and make a memo to keep them up to date. martijn@
