I am trying to use the exec command:

$cmd = "find ../ \\( -name '*.php4' \\) > FileList.txt";
exec($cmd);

this does not work using the exec. It works fine at the unix prompt: find ../ \( -name '*.php4' \) > FileList.txt

If anyone could advise me as to why the php call does not work I would be very grateful

Thanx
