Hi, thanx for your time.
My problem really has to do with WHAT the return values mean.
My problem is that I call an external program through PHP, using system ('program', $return_value);

I wanted to know if there is any kind of documentation saying perhaps that 'if you have $return_value=1, then it means that you have ... problem'.
I hope I am clear to you. i want to figure out WHY the program hasn't been called from PHP, so as to fix the problem if I can (if it has to do with permissions or whatever)..
