SVN update using php script

Question

I've dogged around but no luck - I have a PHP script containing:

echo shell_exec('2>&1 svn update /var/www/html/myProject/');

when i run using php from command line it works fine:

/usr/bin/php update.php

when i try to update it using wget:

wget -qO- http://www.DOMAIN.com/update.php

I get certification error and svn messages. I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with Linux user permissions, but cant find what. Thanks

how do you run from the console, then run svn user is logged in, if you run up a browser, the user is from web server, check whether the user has access to the svn comman and directory.

If that does not work, and you have Linux, you do this:

sudo su -

or

su -
su [user_of_www_server] -
/usr/bin/php update.php

Then see what happens.

Also, try to specify the full path to svn command, the web server user can not access the appropriate environment variables.
