I have a OrangePI PC board with Raspbian image and default LAMP stack on it. I am trying to run PHP exec function but there is no response.

exec("/bin/ls 2>&1", $out);
var_dump($out);

returns array(0) { }

It works perfectly when I run it manually with cli (php file.php), but when I access it via browser it returns empty array.

I have also tried echo test and there is no safe_mode directive in config files. What am I missing?

Maybe it's a permission problem? http://stackoverflow.com/q/18797512 – gre_gor Apr 01 '16 at 14:15
Thanks for suggestion, I will try it later. Didn't know there are special permissions for accessing bash. – Jaka Kordež Apr 01 '16 at 18:40
It looks like this was not the problem. I checked my passwd file and the user running my server (www-data) had a "/bin/sh" in the end. – Jaka Kordež Apr 04 '16 at 15:51
