Hi Sam
Thanks to suggestions from jason, Alexander, and yourself I tried the
unix which command and found that mysqldump was located at...
/usr/bin/ directory
And I changed my exec command to include this directory but alas, the
results were the same.
Is it possible that the mysqldump command cannot be run from PHP under
user nobody?
Still appreciative of any other ideas I can try!
