I'm running with some trouble with exec(), system() and it's friends...

I have a MySQL backup script that somewhere have something like

$cmd="mysqldump ...... > somefile.sql";

if( !fopen("somefile.sql","r") ) { print error message };

$cmd is correct... I've copy-pasted it tons of times in the command shell 
and it worked... created the 'somefile.sql' and all. But none of the 
functions (exec, system..) works. When I use system it outputs me some 
header for mysqldump and that's all...

I've also checked the directory with getcwd()... it is in the right dir to 
execute the mysqldump...

I'm running PHP 4.06 in Apache 1.3.12 in a Win98 machine...

what might be?
