I am trying to run adb from PHP using:

exec( 'adb devices', $output, $return_val );

but I get 126 error.

I think the problem is that php is running as 'www-data' user and does not have permissions to execute adb.

Any solutions?

Allow the www-data user to run to run adb and abd with no password:

sudo visudo

Add to the contents of the sudoers file:

User_Alias WWW_USER = www-data
Cmnd_Alias WWW_COMMANDS = /sbin/adb, /sbin/abd
WWW_USER ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: WWW_COMMANDS

Save.
