I'm creating an app using CodeIgniter, but I'm unable to run Linux commands using my PHP script.
How do I run terminal commands?
I've tried shell_exec() and exec(), but both don't work while using CI.

Which command are you trying to run using exec() ? – Sumoanand Apr 26 '13 at 15:53

Put the following command in your php code to make sure that command is working: print exec('whoami'); Probably, there is issue with the command you are trying to run. Please provide more details to figure-out the issue. – Sumoanand Apr 26 '13 at 15:56

That depends on your server configuration if the functions are disabled, you need to enable them in your php.ini. Here are some alternatives:
popen()- or if you need an interactive way try
proc_open() system()

commands like `ls` and `pwd` are working at their best using `system()` function but commands like `mkdir` experience an epic failure – amarVashishth Apr 30 '13 at 04:24
