Command Not Found When Executed via PHP shell_exec()

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I want to execute following command on my Ubuntu server using php:

android create project --target 8 --name $fname --path ./$fname --activity MainActivity --package $fpack 2>&1

The above command is to create an Android app project. So when I enter this command on my terminal then it works fine, but when I execute it via PHP:

php
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$fpack = $_POST['fpack'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

// Creating a new Android project.
var_dump(shell_exec("android create project --target 8 --name $fname --path ./$fname --activity MainActivity --package $fpack 2>&1"));

?>

When I run my PHP script I get the following output:

string(26) "sh: 1: android: not found "

Why it works when I enter manually in terminal (from user 'ashish' account) but not with php? my apache user and group is same (ashish). Any help will be appreciated :)
