Were you the "nobody" user when you did that? It really doesn't count for
much if you weren't, cuz PHP runs as "nobody" -- or similar depending on
User directive in httpd.conf
Also, that user has a different environment than you -- So the $PATH
variable that might have mysqldump in it for you, isn't there for them.

What, if any, error output and errorcode did you get from the optional
variables to exec?
exec($cmd, $output, $errorcode);
echo implode("<BR>\n", $output);
echo "errorcode is $errorcode<BR>\n";
